I know I'm far from perfect,
|
Too set in my ways for my own good.
|
And there's other things about me you think you'd like to change,
|
If you just could.
|
I could let you shape me, mold me like a potters piece of clay.
|
But you really wouldn't want me that way.
|
|
It's a crazy world we live in,
|
And it keeps on gettin tougher all the time.
|
You say you wish I wouldn't let life's troubles,
|
Weigh so heavy on my mind.
|
When things are wrong I guess that I could smile,
|
Pretending everything's okay.
|
Oh, you really wouldn't want me that way.
|
|
|
I'm just the man I've always been,
|
I don't know how to be nobody else.
|
And a man can only change so much,
|
Till he becomes a shadow of himself.
|
I never could be happy,
|
If I were just your puppet on a string, yes I could change.
|
But you really wouldn't want me that way.
|
You really wouldn't want me that way.
|
|
Now don't misunderstand me,
|
I want to be a man that makes you proud.
|
I ain't ashamed to show how much I love you,
|
Every way that I know how.
|
I can make concessions,
|
But don't ask me to bend until I break.
|
'Cause you really wouldn't want me that way.
|
|
Don't ask me tomorrow to become someone I wasn't yesterday.
|
'Cause you really wouldn't want me that way.
|
Ah you really wouldn't want me........that way.
