Highway rider, honky-tonker
Womanizer, I've heard 'em all
Instigator, trouble-maker
Navigator, on the road to ruin
I was born that way, well I ain't no rebel
I was born that way, what can I say
I can bend but I won't break
You know I learned from my mistakes
Some things you just can't change
I was born that way
Whiskey drinker, smooth talker
Heart breaker, that no one can tame
But I'l tell you what is true
I've been called a name or two
But honey I love you
And always will
I was born that way, well I ain't no rebel
I was born that way, how can I change
You can take me or leave me
You can doubt me or believe me
Let ' em say what they wanna say
I was born that way
God didn't make me the way I am for nothin'
And momma didn't raise me to give up on my dreams
So when the going gets tough
And good ain't good enough
Girl you can depend on me, I ain't givin' up
I was born that way
I was born that way, no I ain't no rebel
I was born that way, and I cannot change
I can bend but I won't break
You see I learned from my mistakes
Some things you just can't change
I was born that way
I can still hear momma sayin'
He was born that way
I was born that way
Yeah I was born that way
You I ain't no rebel
I was born that way
I was born that way
