Story Behind The Song
This song was written with a clear, strong message. At the time, both Sherry and I were going through break ups and discussing relationships, boyfriends and how people can compromise themselves too much. I like to think that I'm a strong girl and Sherry is an incredibly strong woman. We both agreed: you can't change this girl!

Lyrics
CAN'T CHANGE THIS GIRL
Don McLeod, Ali Milner, Sherry St Germain
A-A-E-E-A-F#m-E-E
THERE'S A PLACE WHERE I LOST MY SEMSES
WHERE MY HEART GOT CAUGHT IN THE TRENCHES
I, DON'T KNOW HOW WE GOT HERE
HANGIN 'ROUND WITH THE BROKEN HEARTED
SHOULDA STOPPPED BEFORE WE GOT STARTED
IT'S HARD LETTING GO DEAR
(PRE) D-A
BUT YOU THINK I SAY TOO MUCH
YOU THINK I LAUGH TOO LOUD
(CHORUS) F#m-E-F#m-Dmaj7-E-F#m-Dmaj7-E
YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE WORLD
AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE THIS GIRL
IF I LET YOU DOWN
WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING 'ROUND
IF I LET YOU DOWN
WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING 'ROUND
HOLD ME CLOSE AND WE'LL KISS GOOD-BYE
TRYING HARD TO MAKE MYSELF CRY
CAUSE, I, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE WORTH THE TEARS
I CAN'T BE SOME BODY I'M NOT
AND IT'S ONLY GONNA GET HARDER, SO I'LL GO
I REALLY THINK THAT WE'RE DONE HERE
(PRE) D-A
CAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE MY HAIR
DON'T LIKE THE CLOTHES I WEAR
(CHORUS) F#m-E-F#m-Dmaj7-E-F#m-Dmaj7-E
YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE WORLD
AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE THIS GIRL
IF I LET YOU DOWN
WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING 'ROUND
IF I LET YOU DOWN
WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING 'ROUND
(BRIDGE)
GOING THROUGH THE THINGS THAT YOU GAVE ME
FOUND A NOTE THAT SAID 'LOVONG YOU IS EASY'
I, GUESS, YOU WERE WRONG
SEARCHING FOR THE STORY BOOK ENDING
READ IT FAST, YOUR CHAPTER IS BURING
I, GUESS, YOU WEREN'T THAT STRONG
(CHORUS) F#m-E-F#m-Dmaj7-E-F#m-Dmaj7-E
