Keb’ Mo’ - The Old Me Better lyrics

When I first laid eyes on you
I swore I'd do anything let ya clean me up
Fix me up just to get you
To wear my wedding ring
Now I'm having second thoughts and
I'm writing you this letter
I'm scared to tell you to your face
I liked the old me better

I liked the old me better
I was a lot more fun
I liked the old me better
Didn't take crap from anyone
Well I'd sleep all day, party all night
Did whatever I wanted whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man but
I liked the old me better
Well I've got to say you're the
Only one that I've ever loved
You and I we're a good fit
Like a hand and a glove
I ain't done much talking since
The day we got together
Truth be told I've got to say
I liked the old me better

I liked the old me better
I was a lot more fun
I liked the old me better
Didn't take crap from anyone
Well I'd sleep all day, party all night
Did whatever I wanted whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man but
I liked 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, oh but
I liked the old me better
I was a lot more fun
I liked the old me better
Didn't take crap from anyone
Well I'd sleep all day, party all night
Did whatever I wanted whatever I liked
I'm a different man because of you
But I liked the old me better

Don't get me wrong it ain't that
Bad and I appreciate your work
I don't drink as much I don't swear as
Much you even made me go to church
But now I'm sitting here looking
Back wearing this stupid sweater
Truth be told I've got to say
I liked the old me better

I liked the old me better
I was a lot more fun
I liked the old me better
Didn't take crap from anyone
Well I'd sleep all day, party all night
Did whatever I wanted whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man but
I liked the old me better
You made me a brand new man but I liked me
I liked the old me better
