[Intro]
If I'm not your kind of woman being just the way I am
Then I know you're really not my kind of man

[Verse 1]
I don't believe you have the right to ask me to be different
Either take me like I am or let me be
If you really loved me, I mean really loved all of me
You wouldn't want to change one part of me

[Chorus]
If you can't be satisfied with me the way I am
If I can't make you happy, find someone who can
If I'm not your kind of woman being just the way I am
Then I know you're really not my kind of man

[Verse 2]
I couldn't make you happy if I let you change me
For I know you wouldn't love me that way
I can only be myself but if you want something else
Then I can see no reason I should stay

[Chorus]
If you can't be satisfied with me the way I am
If I can't make you happy find someone who can
If I'm not your kind of woman being just the way I am
Then I know you're really not my kind of man
If I'm not your kind of woman being just the way I am
Then I know you're really not my kind of man

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
