I Can Change (I Swear It) Lyrics

some people say that i'm a bad guy

they may be right, they may be wrong

but its not as if I don't try, I just mess up

and I go wrong.

but i can change, i can change

i can learn to keep my promises i swear it 

open up my heart and i will dare it. 

any minute now i swear i'll change.

oh its strange yes its strange

though i guess its quite clear

i killed the antelope and deer

and there's no home on my range

inside i'm a little deranged but i can change.

its not my fault that i'm so evil

its society, sobriety

ya know my momma picked cotton 

and my daddy bull weevil

it was history, it wasn't me.

but i can change i can change

i can learn to keep my promises i know it. 

open up my heart and i will show it

any minute now yes yes i will

you'll never change you'll never change

you'll always be a dog with mange

yes but dont be such a fool

manna from heaven shall be my food

my acts of kindness were misconstrued

god above will watch me change

and while i'm changing i'll be changing

i'm gonna change. Soon.

but i can change, i can change

i can learn to keep my promises i swear it

open up my heart and i will dare it any minute now

i swear i'll share it

i am gonna change.
