When I first laid eyes on you I swore I'd do anything
Let ya clean me up, fix me up just to get you to wear my wedding ring
Now I'm having second thoughts and I'm writing you this letter
I'm scared to tell you to your face, I liked the old me better
I liked the old me better, I was a lot more fun
I liked the old me better, didn't take crap from anyone
Well I'd sleep all day, party all night
Did whatever I wanted whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man but I liked the old me better
Don't get me wrong it ain't that bad and I appreciate your work
I don't drink as much I don't swear as much you even made me go to church I ain't done much talking since the day we got together
I'm a different man because of you, but I liked the old me better
I liked the old me better, I was a lot more fun
I liked the old me better, didn't take crap from anyone
Well I'd sleep all day, party all night
Did whatever I wanted whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man but I liked the old me better
No doubt about it, you're the only one
And I know you really love the man that I've become...oh but
I liked the old me better, I was a lot more fun
I liked the old me better, didn't take crap from anyone
Well I'd sleep all day, party all night
Did whatever I wanted whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man but I liked the old me better
Well I've got to say you're the only one that I've ever loved
You and I we're a good fit, like a hand and a glove
But now I'm sitting here looking back wearing this stupid sweater
Truth be told I've got to say I liked the old me better
I liked the old me better, I was a lot more fun
I liked the old me better, didn't take crap from anyone
Well I'd sleep all day, party all night
Did whatever I wanted whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man but I liked old me
I liked the old me better
