I used to change my accent, change my stance My phone number, the way I dance Some people change lovers like they change their sheets But I won't change you honey, you're for keeps I used to think I had to change the way I am To feel better, to get a man But once I stopped trying I fell for you You fell for me so I'll stay the same for you Oh yeah I know that I'm not perfect baby Oh yeah it's no reason to go crazy Oh yeah boy you can always count on me For better or for worse I will always put you first Now that I have found you You've changed my life 'cause you're the one who showed me I have everything right We're never gonna differ 'cause we know it's true So don't change me and I won't change you I used to change my style like I changed my mind I tried to change a tyre but I'm not that way inclined Tried to change my figure my diet too I'll still change my underwear if that's O.K with you But after seeing you I know that here is best Oh yeah the world can sometimes make you feel bad Oh yeah but don't forget the things you have Oh yeah boy you can always count on me In sickness and in health baby always be yourself
