I Can't Be Myself

It's a way of mine to say just what I'm thinking

And to do the things I really wanna do

You wanna 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

And I can't be myself when I'm with you

I can't be myself and be what pleases you

Deep down inside, I don't believe, oh, you want me to

It's not my way to take so long deciding

That I can't be myself when I'm with you

I can't be myself and be what pleases you

Deep down inside, I don't believe that you want me to

Oh, and I believe the Lord knows I'm unhappy

And I can't be myself when I'm with you

I can't be myself when I'm with you
