It's a way of mine to say just what I'm thinking And to do the things I really want to do You wanna change the part of me I'm proud of So I can't be myself, when I'm with you Oh, you never liked 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 And I can't be myself when I'm with you I can't be myself and be what pleases you Deep down inside I don't believe oh, 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 I can't be myself and be what pleases you Deep down inside I don't believe that you want me to And I believe the lord knows I'm unhappy And I can't be myself when I'm with you I can't be myself when I'm with you
