The Way That I Am Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So you're proud to be a good one
But the good ones always complain
About the stuff they never did
Don't make a thing about the bad kind
'Cause the bad kind don't even know
All the hearts they're messing with

[Pre-Chorus]
You can point fingers all you want
I don't care
I love you anyway
You can point fingers all you want
I don't care
I love you anyway

[Chorus]
Yeah, I've fallen in love and I hope that you want me
The way that I am
Fallen in love and I know I can't change me
Do you understand?
Fallen in love and I hope that you want me
The way that I am
Fallen in love and I know I can't change me
Do you understand?
[Verse 2]
I've been told I am the problem
And the problem's my honesty
When it's worse than how it seems

And I tell you all the wrong things
All the things you don't wanna hear
'Cause they change your perfect dream

[Pre-Chorus]
You can point fingers all you want
I don't care
I love you anyway
You can point fingers all you want
I don't care
I love you anyway

[Chorus]
Yeah, I've fallen in love and I hope that you want me
The way that I am
Fallen in love and I know I can't change me
Do you understand?
Fallen in love and I hope that you want me
The way that I am
Fallen in love and I know I can't change me
Do you understand?
Fallen in love and I hope that you want me
The way that I am
Fallen in love and I know I can't change me
Do you understand?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
