You're like an open book



There's no need for an introduction or interview
You're well known from the decisions you choose
Whenever you pass another, they may think to themselves but never wonder who you are
Being you with all that's in you, unapologetically
Standing for no nonsense and for all that's profitable
Knowing what and who you are is a beautiful gift by far
You're an open book, that's what you are!
