[Verse 1]
I know you took [?] and you broke her heart
And you made her cry
You took Mary too and you broke her heart
When you said goodbye
My friends tell me through their experiences
I oughta learn

[Chorus]
But I think I can change you
(I think I can change you)
(I think I can change you)
I hope my name is on your list
'Cause I'm standing in your line, uhuh
Waiting my turn

[Verse 2]
You don't get along with none of your girls
You always fuss and fight
No matter what the case, you'll always say the wrong
You always think you're right
When I see the things you do it makes me so mad
I almost start to burn

[Chorus]
But I think I can change you
(I think I can change you)
(I think I can change you)
I hope my name is on your list
'Cause I'm standing in your line, uhuh
Waiting my turn

[Bridge]
How many girls have you made cry?
But [?] no count to them
All those stars that are in the sky
Couldn't amount to them

[Verse 3]
You're mean and evil as you can be
They say you're sad in your way
But I just hope you'll get around to me
And I'll be one of these days
I may not be so wise but still from me
There is something you can learn

[Chorus]
But I think I can change you
(I think I can change you)
(I think I can change you)
I hope my name is on your list
'Cause I'm standing in your line, uhuh
Waiting my turn
Don't you know that I
Just because
