You Really Wouldn't Want Me That Way Lyrics

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 You really wouldn't want me that way
It's a crazy world we live in It keeps on getting 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 And 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 wanna be a man that makes you proud And I ain't ashamed to show how much I love you Every way that I know how I can make concessions Don't ask me to bend until I break You really wouldn't want me that way
Don't ask me tomorrow to become someone I wasn't yesterday You really wouldn't want me that way Oh, you really wouldn't want me that way
