If I Can’t Be Me
Should I come to the front door?
Or, you want me to go around back?
You say you want me over more.
I think it’s only to get me in the sack.
If I can’t be me.
Then how can I be with you?
The relationship started out wrong.
You took me for who I am not.
I know how to be strong.
I’m not changing for what you’ve got.
If I can’t be me.
Then how can I be with you?
If this relationship is going to last.
One of us is changing.
I have no intention of lowering my class.
It’s time for you to stop blaming.
If I can’t be me.
Then how can I be with you?
The macho stuff has to go.
It’s not the kind of thing I respond to.
I know it’s the only show you know.
Time to dig deep & learn some new moves.
If I can’t be me.
Then how can I be with you?——————R. W. Johnson—–(2014)
