I wore the clothes you liked, you said they gave me that look
I even tried to like the food, I know you like to cook
I parted my hair on the left, I carried your arm on the right
I slept late in the morning and I stayed out late at night
I can't give any more of my soul away
And still look myself in the mirror everyday
I can't change any more of what makes me be myself
And still have enough left not to be somebody else
I'm not demanding as a man
Just asking you, love me for what I am
I tried hard not to say the things you don't like to hear
And when to you it was apropos, I nibbled on your ear
I opened the door up for you, I kept my big mouth shut
Well, I've been going down while you've been going up
I can't give any more of my soul away
And still look myself in the mirror everyday
I can't change any more of what makes me be myself
And still have enough left not to be somebody else
I'm not demanding as a man
Just asking you, love me for what I am
No, I can't give any more of my soul away
And still look myself in the mirror everyday
I can't change any more of what makes me be myself
And still have enough left not to be somebody else
I'm not demanding as a man
Just asking you, love me for what I am
Love me for what I am, love me for what I am
