I Can’t Be What You Want Songtext
von Layng Martine, Jr.

Girl, I′m sorry, oh, to see you so blue
Had your hopes and your dreams pinned on me
But as hard as I try, I'm a failure in your eyes
′Cause I can't be what you want me to be

You had an image, oh, so clear in your mind
Of the good life you thought that we would lead
Now we hardly speak at all, I see the writing on the wall
I can't be what you want me to be


Told you when we met what you see is what you get
You insisted that you loved me as I am
But in time you hoped I′d change, all that sunshine turned to rain
Now you′re looking for a different kind of man

At night I touch you, oh, asleep by my side
Though I know I'm no longer what you need
I′d give all I possess, live like a king in happiness
If I could be what you want me to be
If I could be what you want me to be
But I can't be what you want me to be
