You Really Wouldn't Want Me That Way

You Really Wouldn't Want Me That Way - Travis Tritt

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
