It's a way of mine to say just what I'm thinking And to do the things I really want to do And you want to 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 Cause I can't be myself when I'm with you. I can't be myself and be what pleases you And down deep inside I don't believe that 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. --- Instrumental --- I can't be myself and be what pleases you And down deep inside I don't believe that 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. No, I can't be myself when I'm with you...
