Merle Haggard – I Can’t Be Myself: Lyrics and Music Video
I Can’t Be Myself 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
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
Cause i can’t be myself when i’m with you
I can’t be myself and be what pleases you
And down deep inside i don’t believe that you want me to
And it’s not my way to take so long deciding
That i can’t be myself when i’m with you

A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp Stand out in this memory i revived; Cause my daddy raised a family there, with two hard working hands And tried to feed my mama’s hungry eyes. He…
