Lyrics

I once knew a woman,
I thought she was so fine.
Then she told me something,
That really blew my mind.
She said ,"You're perfect, I love you, now change."

We came from different worlds,
But I loved her just the same.
I gave her my heart,
But she wanted the reins.
She said ,"You're perfect, I love you, now change."

She'd invite me home for dinner,
Introduced me to her folks.
Made me sit there quiet,
In case they didn't like my jokes.
She said ,"You're perfect, I love you, now change."

She bought me brand new clothes,
Because she didn't like my vines.
She threw away my whiskey,
And made me drink French wine.
She made me join the Country Club,
'Cause she didn't like my friends.
She sold my brand new Cadillac,
And bought me a damn' Mercedes Benz.
It really does seem crazy,
It really does seem strange.
She said ,"You're perfect, I love you, now change.".

I look into the mirror,
I don't like what I see.
Some guy is looking back,
I'm pretty sure that it ain't me.
She said ,"You're perfect, I love you, now change."

I'm going to hit the road,
I'm going to take it on the lam.
I'm going to find me a woman,
Who will love me like I am.
No more ,"You're perfect, I love you, now change."
