Porter Wagoner, Dolly Parton - I’ve Been This Way Too Long lyrics

Hmm (oh ain't he cute) ah

Well I don't like to get up
If I feel like sleeping
No and I don't like to sweep my
Floors if I don't feel like sweeping
If you don't like the way I
Am then you can move along
You can't change the way I am
I've been this way too long

I've been this way too long and
You can't ever change me now
Don't waste your time tryin' 'cause I
Am just what I am
I've got my way of doin' things
And who can say I'm wrong
You can't change the way I am
I've been this way too long

Oh and I don't like to make my bed
If I don't feel like makin' it
No and I don't like to bake no bread
If I don't feel like bakin' it
If you don't like the way I
Am then you can move along
'Cause you can't change the way I am
I've been this way too long

Well I don't like to hoe no corn
If I don't feel like hoein' it
(You should, you're corny)
And I don't like to mow no grass
If I don't feel like mowin' it
(I know it's comin' through
The upstairs window)
If you don't like the way I
Am then you can move along
You can't change the way I am
I've been this way too long

I've been this way too long and
You can't ever change me now
Don't waste your time tryin' 'cause I
Am just what I am
I've got my way of doin' things
And who can say I'm wrong
You can't change the way I am
I've been this way too long

Oh as far as I can remember back
You have been this way
(And as long as you remember I will be
Honey) when you was in the first grade
You was exact the same way
(First grade, I was waitin' for the second)
You swiped the pencils and scattered
Paper all over the desk
(Oh that's real cute you're
Makin' up stuff now)
