"Old Me Better" lyrics - KEB' MO'

When I first laid eyes on you I swore that I'd do anything
Let you clean me up, fix me up, just to get you to wear my wedding ring,
Now I'm having second thoughts and I'm writing you this letter
Cause I'm scared to tell you to your face, but I liked the old me better.

I liked the old me better, I was a lot more fun.
I liked the old me better, didn't take crap from anyone.
Well, I'd sleep all day, party all night,
Do whatever I wanted whenever I liked,
Yes you made me a brand new man
But I liked the old me better.

Well don't get me wrong, it ain't that bad and I appreciate the work.
I don't drink as much, I don't swear as much, even made me go to church.
But I ain't done much talkin' since the day we got together
And I'm a different man because of you, but I liked the old me better.

I liked the old...
No doubt about it; you're the only one
And I know you've grown to love the man that I've become,
But I like the old...

Well I've got to say you're the only one that I'll ever love,
You and me, we're a perfect fit, like a hand in a glove,
But now I'm sittin' here lookin' back, wearin' this stupid sweater
Truth be told I've got to say that I liked the old me better.
