I used to change my accent, change my stance 00:12

My phone number, the way I dance 00:16

Some people change lovers like they change their sheets 00:20

But I won't change you, honey, you're for keeps 00:24

I used to think I had to change the way I am 00:28

To feel better, to get a man 00:32

But once I stopped trying I fell for you 00:36

You fell for me, so I'll stay the same for you 00:40

Oh yeah, I know that I'm not perfect, baby 00:43

Oh yeah, it's no reason to go crazy 00:49

Oh yeah, boy you can always count on me 00:53

For better or for worse, I will always put you first 00:56

Now that I have found you, you've changed my life 01:00

'Cause you're the one who showed me I had everything right 01:03

We're never gonna differ 'cause we know it's true 01:07

So don't change me and I won't change you 01:11

And I won't change 01:16

And I won't change you 01:17

I used to change my style like I changed my mind 01:19

I tried to change a tyre but I'm not that way inclined 01:23

Tried to change my figure, my diet too 01:27

I'll still change my underwear if that's okay with you 01:31

Oh yeah, the world can sometimes make you feel bad 01:35

Oh yeah, but don't forget the things you have 01:39

Oh yeah, boy you can always count on me 01:44

In sickness and in health, baby, always be yourself 01:47

Now that I have found you, you've changed my life 01:51

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I used to change my accent, change my stance

My phone number, the way I dance

Some people change lovers like they change their sheets

But I won't change you, honey, you're for keeps

I used to think I had to change the way I am

To feel better, to get a man

But once I stopped trying I fell for you

You fell for me, so I'll stay the same for you

Oh yeah, I know that I'm not perfect, baby

Oh yeah, it's no reason to go crazy

Oh yeah, boy you can always count on me

For better or for worse, I will always put you first

Now that I have found you, you've changed my life

'Cause you're the one who showed me I had everything right

We're never gonna differ 'cause we know it's true

So don't change me and I won't change you

And I won't change

And I won't change you

I used to change my style like I changed my mind

I tried to change a tyre but I'm not that way inclined

Tried to change my figure, my diet too

I'll still change my underwear if that's okay with you

Oh yeah, the world can sometimes make you feel bad

Oh yeah, but don't forget the things you have

Oh yeah, boy you can always count on me

In sickness and in health, baby, always be yourself

Now that I have found you, you've changed my life

'Cause you're the one who showed me I had everything right

We're never gonna differ 'cause we know it's true

So don't change me and I won't change you

And I won't change, and I won't change you

Now that I have found you, you've changed my life

You're the one who showed me I had everything right

We're never gonna differ 'cause we know it's true

So don't change me and I won't change you

Now that I have found you, you've changed my life

'Cause you're the one who showed me I had everything right

We're never gonna differ 'cause we know it's true

So don't change me and I won't change you

And I won't change, and I won't change you

So don't change me and I won't change you

And I won't change, and I won't change you
