[Verse 1]

I've been your lover, I've been your friend

I've been your faithful one-woman man

I've been your diamond in the rough

Now you say you wanna polish me up

[Chorus]

Why, why, why do you want to change me now?

Ain't I the one you loved everything about?

You might start missing the old me around

So why, why, why do you want to change me now

[Verse 2]

I remember you used to like

Walking with me on my wilder side

My kind of crazy turned you on

Do you really want that part of me gone?

[Chorus]

Why, why, why do you want to change me now?

Ain't I the one you loved everything about?

You might start missing the old me around

So why, why, why do you want to change me now

[Bridge]

Why, why, why

Ain't I the one?

You might start missing

[Chorus]

Why, why, why do you want to change me now?

Ain't I the one you loved everything about?

You might start missing the old me around

So why, why, why do you want to change me now
