You keep on crying' to me
Sayin' you're gonna leave
Well now, if you're gonna go
Darlin' I'll get the door
Why should I change myself?
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 throw me out
There ain't a thing you can say
I'm too set in my ways
And if you don't understand
Well then I ain't your man
Why should I change myself?
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
