Текст песни I Can't Be Myself - Live - Merle Haggard

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
I can′t be myself and be what pleases you
No, I can′t be myself, when I'm with you
