I've Got to Be Me

"I've Got to Be Me" is a song originally performed by Sammy Davis, Jr. that is covered by The Chipmunks in the Alvin and the Chipmunks episode Alvin, Alvin, Alvin!.

Lyrics

The Chipmunks:
Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am

I want to live, not merely survive
And I won't give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me

Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me
