Lydia Loveless - Can't Change Me lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I had a lot to say last night, I'm sorry, did I say that to you? Well, I talk so much sh** that I forget who I'm talking to Cause my mouth is like a sinking boat I keep throwing words out, hoping I can keep afloat But the more I try to dry out, the more I get soaked [Chorus] Then I say I'm not as bad as I seem But I used to be better, honey, can't you see? That you of all people, should know that this ain't really me And that's gonna change how you feel about me, baby, but it won't change me Yeah, that's gonna change how you feel about me, baby, but it won't change me [Verse 2] Somebody found me on the floor Well, I must have pa**ed out from the two nights before If you don't send my rotten a** to bed I'll quote God again Don't tell me that hell ain't there Cause I feel it every morning when I climb the stairs Tell me why can't I sleep at night? A drink should get me right [Chorus] And you didn't mean to be mean But everything sounds more meaningful when you scream Well, if you really want to raise your voice to me That's gonna change how I feel about you, buddy, but it won't change me Well, that's gonna change how I feel about you, buddy, but it won't change me [Verse 3] Well, you can write me up as just white trash But honey I know it don't take all that much to see that Well, cause I swear that every hangover is gonna be my last But it looks like only whiskey's gonna kick my a** and make me still come back So, Jesus, guide me with your light Well, you can enlighten me, man, with everlasting insight But I've had thoughts about you that are gonna keep you up tonight Being good is k**ing me inside Well, I don't wanna go to bed on time tonight That's gonna change who I am, and honey that ain't right [Chorus] ‘Cause then I'll say, “It's not all that bad” And if I can't change who I am, I shouldn't try so goddamn hard Well, I just keep telling myself, “I guess it ain't eternity” Yeah, and that's gonna change how you feel about me, Jesus, but it won't change me Yeah, and that's gonna change how you feel about me, Jesus, but it won't change me Yeah, and that's gonna change how you feel about me, baby, but it won't change me Yeah, that's gonna change how you feel about me, baby, but it won't change me
