Why should I change for you? No, I will not lay down I am not chained to you And I am what I am Don't try to complicate this I'm running out of patience And I am what I am You know you can't control me You might as well just throw me out And I am what I am Don't try to complicate this I'm running out of patience And I am what I am You know you can't control me You might as well just throw me out
