Songwriter: Merle Haggard
It's a way of mine to say just what I'm thinking
And to do the things I really wanna do
You wanna 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, oh, you want me to
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
Oh, and I believe the Lord knows I'm unhappy
And I can't be myself when I'm with you
I can't be myself when I'm with you
And to do the things I really wanna do
You wanna 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, oh, you want me to
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
Oh, and I believe the Lord knows I'm unhappy
And I can't be myself when I'm with you
I can't be myself when I'm with you
