  • Nobody can tell ya
    There's only one song worth singing
    They may try and sell ya
    'Cause it hangs them up
    To see someone like you

    But you gotta make your own kind of music
    Sing your own special song
    Make your own kind of music
    Even if nobody else sings along

    You're gonna be nowhere
    The loneliest kind of lonely
    It may be rough going
    Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do

    But you gotta make your own kind of music
    Sing your own special song
    Make your own kind of music
    Even if nobody else sings along

    So if you cannot take my hand
    And if you must be going, I will understand

    You gotta make your own kind of music
    Sing your own special song
    Make your own kind of music
    Even if nobody else sings along

    You gotta make your own kind of music
    Sing your own kind of song
    Make your own kind of music
    Even if nobody else sings along Writer/s: Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil
