24/7 you keep stressing me
To do the things I don't want to do
Or be something I don't want to be
Well let me tell you something
I'm not a bird in your cage
You can run that game on someone else
'cause it is never gonna work on me
Don't you know

You can't change me
Or rearrange me
Don't waste your time 
Baby, can't you see
That you can't change me

When we first got together 
I told you how it would be
You said it's all good 
And you understood
Now I see you feel differently
You say I love my music
More than you
And that's not cool
Well you might as well just tell me now
Are you gonna break out or be down
'cause now you know the deal
Let's keep it real
It may not be what you want to hear
But baby you know

You can't change me
Or rearrange me
Don't waste your time
Baby can't you see
That you can't change me
