Lyrics
I Can't Be Myself
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's the way of mine to say just what I'm thinking
And to do the things I really want to do
And you want to change the part of me I'm proud of
So I can't be myself when I'm with you
Oh you never like the clothes I wear on Sunday
Just because I don't believe the way you do
But I believe the Lord knows I'm unhappy
Cause I can't be myself when I'm with you
No I can't be myself and be what pleases you
And down deep inside I don't believe that you want me to
And it's not my way to take so long deciding
That I can't be myself when I'm with you
No it's not my way...
