When we first met things were fine
I was yours and you were mine
But then one day you wanted me to change
And I said hey babe, I'm not perfect
Try to be something I'm not
And I try so hard that I get caught in a lie
I can't be what you want me to cause
Lord only knows that I'm not perfect
Even though I tried it wasn't enough
Every damn time you caught my bluff
But I don't really mind cause that's just me
We would never make a happy family
Try to be something I'm not
I try so hard that I get caught in a lie
I can't be what you want me to cause
Lord only knows that I'm not perfect
Girl, you didn't like me the way I was
All for the reason that because
You couldn't stand the little things I'd do
I am me so who the hell are you?
Try to be something I'm not
I try so hard that I get caught in a lie
I can't be what you want me to cause
Lord only knows that I'm not perfect
Try to be something I'm not
I try so hard that I get caught in a lie
I can't be what you want me to cause
Lord only knows that I'm not perfect
