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
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
