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?
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?
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?
