What it Takes to Be Me William Clark Green

I bet you thought I was a better man
Now you know the truth
I been out singin' the songs
About the wrong I done
Guess it finally got through to you

She left her stain on the linens
I really thought you would never tell
No, I don't expect to be forgiven
'Cause I'm so wrapped up in myself

And I deserve everything for all the work I done
Even if I lose everybody that I ever loved
They just don't understand
What it takes to be me
And I don't know who they are
But I will prove 'em wrong
Probably my friends
I'm suspicious of everyone
I would give anything just for them to see
What it takes to be me

I don't know who I am anymore
Tell me what have I become
There is something I discovered
That attracts lots of lovers
While my wife and my kids are at home
