You Put Me Down

[Verse 1]

You say you love me, but you always try to change me, girl, ooh

I fell in love with you, I did not join a new school girl, ohh

Yesterday, I liked myself, all footloose and fancy free, ohh

Now today I find myself wondering what's wrong with me, ohh

Change comes slowly; give me time to try

[Chorus]

You put me down, and you wonder if this can work

And you're wondering if this can work

And you're wondering if it ever could be

You fought the things I like about myself

And you wonder if this can work

And you're wondering if this can work

And you're wondering if I could be

You fought the things I like about myself

You fought the things I like about myself

[Verse 2]

It makes me wonder if this can work

And it makes me wonder if this can work

And it makes me wonder if this can work

And it makes me wonder if this can work

You say you love me, but you always try to change me, girl, ooh

I fell in love with you, I did not join a new school girl, ohh

Yesterday, I liked myself, all footloose and fancy free, ohh

Now today I find myself wondering what's wrong with me, ohh

Change comes slowly; give me time to try

[Chorus]

You put me down, and you wonder if this can work

And you're wondering if this can work

And you're wondering if it ever could be

You fought the things I like about myself

And you wonder if this can work

And you're wondering if this can work

And you're wondering if I could be

You fought the things I like about myself

You fought the things I like about myself

[Bridge]

Peace of love and the scent of blood

And you get locked out

And you know it

You're running for the

Peace of God and the son of blood

You forgot to love

And you love it

You're gunning for the

Ease of mind

When you get knocked down

And the floor is wet

And you're running before you know it

You lucked out

And by the time

And the peace of mind

Got the better

The better of it

[Chorus]

You put me down, and you wonder if this can work

And you're wondering if this can work

And you're wondering if it ever could be

You fought the things I like about myself

And you wonder if this can work

And you're wondering if this can work

And you're wondering if I could be

You fought the things I like about myself

You fought the things I like about myself

[Outro]

It makes me wonder if this can work

And it makes me wonder if this can work

And it makes me wonder if this can work

And it makes me wonder if this can work
