Ahh... 
I know that you love me 
Ahh... 
I'll be there when you need me 
You are the one who stood by my side 
When all my so called friends tried to mess with my life and 
They tried to bring my dreams to an end 
But when they try to knock me down I get up again 
No they see me as a star on the screen 
But they're not the same know as they use to be 
I don't know what they want from me 
I don't care, ah ha that's the way it's gotta be, yeah 
Chorus: 
I don't need anyone 
To tell me I'm wrong, I know that you love me 
I don't care what they say 
You were there from the start 
I'll be there when you need me 
So why do they always have something to say 
I don't know, I guess they think they understand me 
Why do they think they can treat me this way 
It's my life, they don't control me, no 
You are the one who always believed 
When I tried to be myself, they would laugh at me 
But they don't understand the way that I feel 
You were the only one, who ever knew me for real 
Now they see me as a star on the screen 
But they're not the same now as they use to be 
I don't know what they want from me 
I don't care ah ha, that's the way it's got to be yeah 
I don't need anyone 
To tell me I'm wrong, I know that you love me 
I don't care what they say 
You were there from the start 
I'll be there when you need me 
So why do they always have something to say 
I don't know, I guess they think they understand me 
Why do they think they can treat me this way 
I don't want to see them 'cause I can't believe them 
They were not the ones who were there for me 
When I needed them 
I don't understand what they want from me 
I don't care, ah ha, that's the way it's got to be 
I don't need anyone 
To tell me that I am wrong, I know that you love me
I don't care what they say 
You were there from the start 
I'll be there when you need me 
(Chorus) 
So why do they always have something to say 
I don't know, I guess they think they understand me 
Why do they think they can treat me this way
