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'd 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
And down deep inside, I don't believe you'd want me to
And it's not my style to take so long deciding
That I can't be myself, when I'm with you
No, I can't be myself, when I'm with you

Merle Haggard

Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. more »
