I gotta be Me (KDM 145) Chris Froggatt (Sammy Davis Jnr.) 1968

OPENER

Sides Face Grand Square

Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong 

Whether I find a place in this world or never belong

Allemande and Weave

I gotta be me, I've gotta be me

Swing your girl and Promenade

What else can I be but what I am

FIGURE

Heads Star Thru, Pass Thru, R & L Thru

Veer Left, Couples Circulate

1/2 Tag, Single Hinge, Men Trade

Spin the Top, Slide Thru

Swing your corner, and Promenade

The dream that I see makes me what I am

MIDDLE BREAK

Sides Face Grand Square

That far away prize, a world of success 
Is waiting for me if I heed the call 
Allemande and Weave

I won't settle down, won't settle for less
Swing your girl and Promenade

As long as there's a chance that I can have it all

CLOSER

Sides Face Grand Square

I’ll go it alone, that’s how it must be

I can’t be right for somebody else, if I’m not right for me

Allemande and Weave

I gotta be free, I’ve gotta be free

Swing your girl and Promenade

Daring to try, to do it or die…

I’ve gotta be me

TAG

Swing her.

ORIGINAL LYRICS

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
The dream that I see makes me what I am

That far away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all

I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me

I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I gotta be me
