I can make concessions
You really wouldn't want me that way
And a man can only change so much
I'm just the man I've always been
And I never could be happy
Now, don't misunderstand me
If I were just your puppet on a string, yes I could change
Till he becomes a shadow of himself
And I ain't ashamed to show how much I love you
Pretending everything's okay
You say, you wish I wouldn't let life's troubles
If you just could
You really wouldn't want me that way
I could let you shape me, mold me like a potters piece of clay
I don't know how to be nobody else
When things are wrong I guess that I could smile
Weigh so heavy on my mind
But you really wouldn't want me that way
It keeps on getting tougher all the time
And there's other things about me you think you'd like to change
Don't ask me to bend until I break
Don't ask me tomorrow to become someone I wasn't yesterday
It's a crazy world we live in
Oh, you really wouldn't want me that way
Every way that I know how
You really wouldn't want me that way
You really wouldn't want me that way
I wanna be a man that makes you proud
