Verse 1:
I can do tender
You can do warm
Our one-on-one times are oh so precious
But cold light of day you're pressuring me to rein in
Don't jeopardize!
Verse 2:
When you were not yet part of my life
I did some things that gave me great pleasure
And now we're a pair won't stop doing them
Why should I?
Hell why should I?!
Chorus:
DON'T TRY TO CHANGE ME!
Just suppress that urge
Still need to run with my buds
Still need playin' like crazy
I want you to stay my 'significant other'
But you're not my mother
So don't you try to change me
You'd alienate me
DON'T TRY TO CHANGE ME!
Verse 3:
I'll share your straight-laced
You share my wild
We'll mix and match yet retain identities
Accept me as I'm accepting of you
Seems quite fair
Perfectly fair
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus 3 semitones higher
