作词 : Aldridge, Beathard, Casey ... 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.
