You Put Me Down

You say you love me, but you always try to change me, girl, ooh.
I fell in love with you, I did not join a new school girl, ohh.
Yesterday, I liked myself, all footloose and fancy free, ohh.
Now today I find myself wondering what's wrong with me, ohh.
Change comes slowly; give me time to try.

You put me down, and you wonder if this can work.
And you're wondering if this can work.
And you're wondering if it ever could be
You fought the things I like about myself.
And you wonder if this can work.
And you're wondering if this can work.
And you're wondering if I could be
You fought the things I like about myself
You fought the things I like about myself.

It makes me wonder if this can work.
And it makes me wonder if this can work.
And it makes me wonder if this can work.
And it makes me wonder if this can work.

You fought the things I like about myself.

Peace of love and the scent of blood
And you get locked out
And you know it.
You're running for the
Peace of God and the son of blood
You forgot to love
And you love it.
You're gunning for the
Ease of mind
When you get knocked down
And the floor is wet
And you're running before you know it.
You lucked out
And by the time
And the peace of mind
Got the better
The better of it.

You put me down, and you wonder if this can work.
