I Can't Change Him 

Tricia Dovidio (c) 2010 

 

pretty good looking 

and smart enough 

he was hard working 

and we fell in love 

nobody's perfect 

but I'd fix that 

he need learnin' 

of some simple facts 

well learning came to be... 

but the lesson was for me! 

a diamond ring 

and wedding bands 

I had him eating 

outa my hand 

grooming him just 

the way I liked 

mere inches away 

from mister right 

well the groom won't mind his bride 

but I'm still by his side 

I can't change him 

though I tried 

I can't make him 

walk the line 

I still love him 

that's no lie 

but I can't change this 

man of mine 

The gentle persuasion 

of a woman' love 

will surely make him into 

what I'm dreamin of 

but the harder I try 

and the more he resists 

makes me crazy for him 

just the way he is. 

Yes! learning came to be... 

but the lesson was for me! 

I can't change him 

though I tried 

I can't make him 

walk the line 

I still love him 

that's no lie 

but I can't change this 

man of mine 

br: 

I had such good intentions 

a few minor tweaks was my plan 

but he took no suggestions 

too busy being The Man 

I can't change him 

though I tried 

I can't make him 

walk the line 

I still want him 

that's no lie 

I can't change him... 

but he's all mine 

he's all mine
