I wore the clothes you liked, you said they gave me that look   I even tried to like the food, I know you like to cook   I parted my hair on the left, I carried your arm on the right   I slept late in the morning and I stayed out late at night      I can't give any more of my soul away   And still look myself in the mirror everyday   I can't change any more of what makes me be myself   And still have enough left not to be somebody else      I'm not demanding as a man   Just asking you, love me for what I am      I tried hard not to say the things you don't like to hear   And when to you it was apropos, I nibbled on your ear   I opened the door up for you, I kept my big mouth shut   Well, I've been going down while you've been going up      I can't give any more of my soul away   And still look myself in the mirror everyday   I can't change any more of what makes me be myself   And still have enough left not to be somebody else      I'm not demanding as a man   Just asking you, love me for what I am      No, I can't give any more of my soul away   And still look myself in the mirror everyday   I can't change any more of what makes me be myself   And still have enough left not to be somebody else      I'm not demanding as a man   Just asking you, love me for what I am   Love me for what I am, love me for what I am
