I Don't Want You to Change

Melissa Ferrick


I don’t want you to be, anything but who you are.
Don’t change the way you talk
How you move, or lose the friends, that got you this far

I don’t need you to smile, when you really fall apart.
Don’t hide the truth about,
Where you’re from, how you love or
Which side of your heart your comfortable living from.
So when you feel the hesitation,
I think you know who I want you to be…

Remember
I don’t want you, I don’t want you, I don’t want you to change
I don’t want you, I don’t want you, I don’t want you to change

This is the best that I can love you
Completely and without a cause
I have no greater desire
Than to hold you, know you right now, exactly as you are
So when you feel the hesitation,
I think you know who I want you to be…

Remember
I don’t want you, I don’t want you, I don’t want you to change
I don’t want you, I don’t want you, I don’t want you to change
You must be thinking, how am I supposed to trust you
And give you all of me back
Once was hard enough to lose you
And now you’re asking me to say yes, say yes…, say yes..,
say yes, say yes, say yes.

Say I don’t want you, I don’t want you, I don’t want you to change
Say I don’t want you, I don’t want you, I don’t want you to change
Say I don’t want you, I don’t want you, I don’t want you to change
Anything.
