Travis Tritt 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
