LYRICS:
THEY ALWAYS TOLD ME I MUST TRY TO BE
LIKE EVERYONE IN THE NATION
GO WITH THE FLOW,
REMEMBER ME IS WE
THERE MUST BE NO DEVIATION
WELL, NOW I THINK THAT I'LL GO MY OWN WAY
I'VE GOT MY OWN POINT OF VIEW
I JUST DON'T CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY
I DO WHAT I WANNA DO
YOU KNOW THAT I'M READY
I'M READY TO ROCK
YOU KNOW THAT I'M READY
I'M READY TO ROCK
GONNA ROCK
I'M LOOKIN' OUT FOR NUMBER ONE/NUMBER ONE
I'M LOOKIN' OUT FOR NUMBER ONE/NUMBER ONE
I'M LOOKIN' OUT FOR NUMBER ONE/NUMBER ONE
I'M LOOKIN' OUT FOR NUMBER ONE/NUMBER ONE
THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO MAKE A STAND
YOU'VE GOT TO DO THINGS YOUR OWN WAY
FORGET ABOUT THE STYLE, FORGET THE BRAND
'CAUSE EVERY DOG HAS HIS OWN DAY
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE OTHERS THINK
WHAT COUNTS IS DO YOU LIKE YOU?
YOU THINK YOU'RE DROWNIN' BUT YOU'LL NEVER SINK
JUST DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO
YOU BETTER GET READY,
GET READY TO ROCK
YOU BETTER GET READY,
GET READY TO ROCK
GOTTA ROCK YOU
KNOW WE'RE READY,
WE'RE READY TO ROCK
YOU KNOW WE'RE READY,
WE'RE READY TO ROCK
WE'RE LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER ONE (8X)
