What it Takes to Be Me

Lyrics

I bet you thought I was a better man Now you know the truth I been out singin' the songs About the wrong I done Guess it finally got through to you She left her stain on the linens I really thought you would never tell No, I don't expect to be forgiven 'Cause I'm so wrapped up in myself And I deserve everything for all the work I done Even if I lose everybody that I ever loved They just don't understand What it takes to be me And I don't know who they are But I will prove 'em wrong Probably my friends I'm suspicious of everyone I would give anything just for them to see What it takes to be me I don't know who I am anymore Tell me what have I become There is something I discovered That attracts lots of lovers While my wife and my kids are at home You'd think I'd learn my lesson Yeah, you'd think I'd stop runnin' around Oh but every time that it happens I tell myself that they'll never find out And I deserve everything for all the work I done Even if I lose everybody that I ever loved They just don't understand What it takes to be me And I don't know who they are But I will prove 'em wrong Probably my friends I'm suspicious of everyone I would give anything just for them to see What it takes to be me And I deserve everything for all the work I done Even if I lose everybody that I ever loved They just don't understand What it takes to be me And I don't know who they are But I will prove 'em wrong Probably my friends I'm suspicious of everyone I would give anything just for them to see What it takes to be me To be me Yeah What it takes to be me
