What It Takes to Be Me

I bet you thought I was a better man
Now you know the truth
I been out singing the songs
About the wrong I done
Guess it finally got through to you.

She left her stain on the linens
I really thought you would never tell.
No, I don't expect to be forgiven
Cause I'm so wrapped up in myself

And I deserve everything for all the work I done
Even if I lose everybody that I ever loved
They just don't understand
What it takes to be me.

And I don't know who they are,
But I will prove em wrong.
Probably my friends
I'm suspicious of everyone

I would give anything just for them to see
What it takes to be me.

I don't know who I am anymore
Tell me what have I become
There is something I discovered
That attracts lots of lovers
While my wife and my kids are at home

You'd think I'd learn my lesson
Yeah, you'd think I'd stop running around
Oh but every time that it happens,
I tell myself that they'll never find out.

And I deserve everything for all the work I done
Even if I lose everybody that I ever loved
They just don't understand
What it takes to be me.

And I don't know who they are,
But I will prove em wrong.
Probably my friends
I'm suspicious of everyone

I would give anything just for them to see
What it takes to be me.

And I deserve everything for all the work I done
Even if I lose everybody that I ever loved
They just don't understand
What it takes to be me.

And I don't know who they are
But I will prove em wrong.
Probably my friends
I'm suspicious of everyone.

I would give anything just for them to see
What it takes to be me.

To be me.
Yeah.
What it takes to be me.
