I Can't Change A Thing
Pat Green · Other Songs - Pat Green
Like a man out of sorts with the world
I aint got no explanation
And if I did I know IÂ’d sound absurd
Yeah but I canÂ’t change a thing
No matter what I do
And you donÂ’t care what I say
I canÂ’t hide the pain any more
Oh IÂ’m going away
Just need a way to keep the raid out
And land with both feet on the ground
Yeah but every time I go
Stand up on my own
You come along
You come along
and then you knock me down
Yeah but I canÂ’t change a thing
No matter what I do
And you donÂ’t care what I say
I canÂ’t hide the pain anymore
Oh IÂ’m going away
Maybe IÂ’d break out for the mountains
Or maybe I could head for Mexico
Then you come in begging
Pleading you said baby please donÂ’t leave me
Well I made up my mind
Well I made up my maid
ItÂ’s time to go
Yeah and I canÂ’t change a thing no matter what you do
I donÂ’t care what you say
Cause I canÂ’t hide the pain anymore
Oh IÂ’m going away
Oh IÂ’m going away
