I’ve been your lover, I’ve been your friend
I’ve been your faithful one-woman man
I’ve been your diamond in the rough
Now you say you wanna polish me up
 [bad word] 
Why, why, why do you wanna change me now?
Ain’t I the one you loved everything about?
You might start missin’ the old me around
So why, why, why do you wanna change me now

I remember you used to like
Walkin’ with me on my wilder side
My kind of crazy turned you on
Do you really want that part of me gone?
 [bad word] 
Why, why, why do you wanna change me now?
Ain’t I the one you loved everything about?
You might start missin’ the old me around
So why, why, why do you wanna change me now

Why, why, why
Ain’t I the one?
You might start missin’
 [bad word] 
Why, why, why do you wanna change me now?
Ain’t I the one you loved everything about?
You might start missin’ the old me around
So why, why, why do you wanna change me now
