Push me over, make me over...

This is an excerpt from Alexz Johnson's Me Out Of Me:

Why you always trying to make me something that I don't wanna be?
Ooo, push me over, make me over, (Destroy her, then bring her back to life?)
try to make a joke out of me
There's something you should know
I won't change and I'm not letting go Giving up?
There's something you will see
You can't turn down (Make a resistance?) cuz I'm breakin free ya

[Chorus]
You just can't take the me out of me Change her?
Cuz that's what I need the world to see Her true face?
You just can't take the me out of me
Oh there's no one else I'd rather be
