Babe, I can't change my tune for you,
But I'll sing any melody you want me to.
I'll sing all the country and all of the blues,
But babe, I can't change my tune for you,
So don't ask me to.
But babe, I can pull some strings for you.
I'll pull them until each one is in tune.
I'll try to make things go like you want to,
But babe, I can't change my tune for you.
But I'll pull strings for you.
Maybe I'll write a song about you,
Even though I am just passing through.
I'll sing you all the old songs and all of the new,
'Cause babe, I can't change my tune for you,
So don't ask me to.
