When I first laid eyes on you
I swore I’d do anything
But you cleaned me up, fixed me up
Just to get you to wear my wedding ring
Now I’ve having second thoughts
And I’m writing you this letter
I’m scared to tell you to your face
That I like the old me better.
I like the old me better
I was a lot more fun
I like the old me better
Didn’t take crap from anyone
But I’d sleep all day, party all night
Do whatever I want whatever I liked
Baby, you made me a brand new man
But I like the old me better
Don’t get me wrong, it ain’t that bad
And I appreciate your work
I don’t drink too much I don’t swear too much
You even made me go to church
I ain’t done much talkin’ since the day we got together
I’m a different man because of you
But I like the old me better
I like the old me better
I was a lot more fun
I like the old me better
Didn’t take crap from anyone
But I’d sleep all day, party all night
Do whatever I want whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man
But I like the old me better
No doubt about it, you’re the only one
And I know you really love the man that I’ve become
But I like the old me better
I was a lot more fun
I like the old me better
Didn’t take crap from anyone
But I’d sleep all day, party all night
Do whatever I want whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man
But I like the old me better
Well I got to say you are the only one that I’ve ever loved
You and I have a good thing, we’re like hand in glove
But now I’m sitting here looking back
Wearing this stupid sweater
Truth be told I got to say
I like the old me better
I like the old me better
I was a lot more fun
I like the old me better
Didn’t take crap from anyone
But I’d sleep all day, party all night
Do whatever I want whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man
But I like the old me better
You made me a brand new man
But I—me—I like the old me better.
