Merle Haggard — I Can't Be Myself lyrics

Lyrics

It’s a way of mine to say just what I’m thinking
And to do the things I really want to do And you want to change the part of me I’m proud of I can’t be myself when I’m with you
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
Cause I can’t be myself when I’m with you
I can’t be myself and be what pleases you
Down deep inside I don’t believe you really want me to It’s not my way to take so long deciding
I can’t be myself when I’m with you
I can’t be myself and be what pleases you
Down deep inside I don’t believe you really want me to It’s not my way to take so long deciding
I can’t be myself when I’m with you
I can’t be myself when I’m with you
