It’s hard to forget that day
You told me I wasn’t good enough
"You are too different", you said
But this is who I am since I was young

It’s hard to forget that day
You told me I wasn’t man enough
I don’t care about labels, baby
And I’m living my life so proud

I may be gay but I’m still
I may be gay but I’m still
As good as, as good as
As good as, as good as
As you think you are

Are you telling me
What am I supposed to be?
Equals!
Here’s the truth: I just wanna be free
Respect me too

Are you telling me
What am I supposed to be?
Equals!
Here’s the truth: I just wanna be free
Respect me too

It’s easy to remember when
You told me I was special
“Have no fears”, you said
"Cause this is who you are since you were young”

I may be gay but I’m still
I may be gay but I’m still
As good as, as good as
As good as, as good as
As you think you are

Are you telling me
What am I supposed to be?
Equals!
Here’s the truth: I just wanna be free
Respect me too

Are you telling me
What am I supposed to be?
Equals!
Here’s the truth: I just wanna be free
Respect me too

I wanna be free
I want to be free
I wanna be free

Believe me, I was laying there
On the carpet, in my bedroom’s floor
There were tears on my face
Instead of bitter ones, I felt the joy

I may be gay but I’m still
I may be gay but I’m still
As good as, as good as
As good as, as good as
As you think you are

Are you telling me
What am I supposed to be?
Equals!
Here’s the truth: I just wanna be free
Respect me too

Are you telling me
What am I supposed to be?
Equals!
Here’s the truth: I just wanna be free
Respect me too
