______________________________

Just because I'm an only child
   I'm not pampered
   I'm not shy
   I'm not proud

Just because I'm an only child
   It doesn't mean I'm lonely
   Selfish doesn't describe me
   And, I'm not spoiled

Just because I'm an only child
   I know I'm not perfect
   I can't always be the best friend
   I'm not a nerd

Just because I'm an only child
Let me be me.
