Hmm (oh ain`t he cute) ah well I don`t like to get up if I feel
like sleeping
No and I don`t like to sweep my floor if I don`t feel like sweeping
[ Both ]
If you don`t like the way I am then you can move along
You can`t change the way I am I`ve been this way too long
I`ve been this way too long and you can`t ever change me now
Don`t waste your time in tryin` cause I am just what I am
I`ve got my way of doin` things and who can say I`m wrong
You can`t change the way I am I`ve been this way too long
Oh and I don`t like to make my bed if I don`t feel like makin` it
No and I don`t like to bake no bread if I don`t feel like bakin` it
If you don`t like the way I am then you can move along
Cause you can`t change the way I am I`ve been this way too long
Well I don`t like to hoe no corn if I don`t feel like hoein` it
(You should you`re corny)
And I don`t like to mow no grass if I don`t feel like mowin` it
(I know it`s comin` through the upstairs window)
If you don`t like the way I am then you can move along
You can`t change the way I am I`ve been this way too long
If you don`t like the way I am...
Oh as far as I can remember back you have been this way
(And as long as you remember I will be honey)
When you was in the first grade you was exact the same way
(First grade I was waitin` for the second)
You swiped the pencils and scattered paper all over the desk
(Oh that`s real cute you`re makin` up stuff)
