[Chorus: Keri Hilson & Akon]
You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air that I breathe you
You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air that I breathe you

[Post-Chorus: Akon]
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Why would you change me? (Baby, I will let you go)
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Baby, I will let you go

[Verse 1: Keri Hilson]
You know I, I had my, my vices
You said you could handle it
But you lied
'Cause you tried to change me, mold me, no
Everything you loved before you don't love no more
Everything I did for you, you don't want no more
Maybe I'm not quite the girl you been lookin' for
But you agreed
So how could you not see it?

[Chorus: Keri Hilson & Akon]
You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air that I breathe you
You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air that I breathe you

[Post-Chorus: Akon]
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Why would you change me? (Baby, I will let you go)
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Baby, I will let you go

[Verse 2: Akon]
Why must I, decide on, whether I love you or the world
You met me, you fell deeply, in love with me
So what is the problem now?
Everything you loved before, you don't love no more
Everything I did for you, you don't want no more
Maybe I'm not quite the man you been lookin' for
But you agreed
So how could you not see it?

[Chorus: Keri Hilson & Akon]
You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air that I breathe you
You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air that I breathe you

[Post-Chorus: Akon]
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Why would you change me? (Baby, I will let you go)
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Baby, I will let you go

[Bridge: Keri Hilson]
Why would you wanna change me, arrange me?
Is that what you call love?
Maybe you need somebody different
Somebody who fits you like a glove
But don't change
Everything that you love (Don't change me, baby, don't change me, don't change me, don't change me)
About me (Don't change me, baby, don't change me)
When you know that I love you

[Chorus: Keri Hilson & Akon]
You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air that I breathe you
You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air that I breathe you

[Post-Chorus: Akon]
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Why would you change me? (Baby, I will let you go)
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Baby, I will let you go

[Outro: Akon]
So don't try to change me
