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 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

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 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



I can't be myself and be what pleases you

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

And I believe the Lord knows I'm unhappy

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

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