Hey, show pony
Take me along for the ride
Just be yourself
You don’t have to hide
Don’t forget to be kind
Show pony
Especially to those that you love
Don’t waste your time
You don’t have to please everyone
No one’s watching
No one will get in your way
Let’s leave the show
It’ll be there on some other day
If you want it
That’s what you need to find out
Will you survive?
Or, are you down for the count?
I can see show pony
You’re never one to complain
But, if you did, would it help ease the pain
Of trying to be someone, dear
Someone who you’ll never be
Forget about them
Now it’s just you and me
The show doesn’t have to go on
I don’t know why you’ve taken this long
But, now that you know
You can run your own show
And you don’t need their show to belong
Hey, show pony
Don’t forget what you hold dear
The only trust
You’ll ever need is right here
Hey, show pony
Take me along for the ride
Just be yourself, and love me
Just be yourself, and need me
Just be yourself, show pony
