You Really Wouldn't Want Me That Way
Embrace Imperfection: Unveiling the True Self in "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
I acknowledge my imperfections and recognize that I'm set in my ways.
And there's other things about me you think you'd like to change if you just could
You have aspects of me you'd like to change if given the chance.
I could let you shape me, mold me like a potter's piece of clay
I'm open to being shaped or molded by you, like clay in a potter's hands.
But you really wouldn't want me that way
You wouldn't truly desire me if I were to change in that manner.
It's a crazy world we live in and it keeps on getting tougher all the time
The world is challenging, and it's becoming tougher over time.
You say you wish I wouldn't let life's troubles weigh so heavy on my mind
You want me to handle life's troubles without letting them weigh heavily on my mind.
When things are wrong I guess that I could smile pretending everything's okay
I could pretend everything is fine when it's not, but you wouldn't want that.
But you really wouldn't want me that way
You wouldn't truly desire me if I were to change in that manner.
I'm just the man I've always been,I don't know how to be nobody else
I am who I am, and I don't know how to be someone else.
And a man can only change so much till he becomes a shadow of himself
People can only change so much before losing their true selves.
I never could be happy if I were just your puppet on a string, yes I could change
I wouldn't be happy just being controlled by you; I could change, but you wouldn't want that.
But you really wouldn't want me that way
You wouldn't truly desire me if I were to change in that manner.
Now don't misunderstand me, I want to be a man that makes you proud
I want to be a man who makes you proud and openly expresses love.
I ain't ashamed to show how much I love you every way that I know how
I'm not ashamed to show my love in various ways.
I can make concessions but don't ask me to bend until I break
I can make compromises, but I won't break for you.
'Cause you really wouldn't want me that way
You wouldn't truly desire me if I were to change in that manner.
Don't ask me tomorrow to become someone I wasn't yesterday
Don't ask me to become someone different from who I was yesterday.
'Cause you really wouldn't want me that way
You wouldn't truly desire me if I were to change in that manner.
