The Old Me Better (Live)
1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3
[Verse 1]
When I first laid eyes on you I swore I'd do anything
Let you clean me up, fix me up
Just to get you to wear my wedding ring
But now I'm having second thoughts
And I'm writing you this letter
Cause I'm scared to tell you to your face, I liked the old me better
[Chorus]
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
Did whatever I wanted whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man but I liked the old me better
[Verse 2]
You know I got to say it ain't that bad and I appreciate your work
I don't drink as much I don't swear as much
Yyou even made me go to church
I ain't done much talking since the day we got together
But I'm a different man because of you
But I liked the old me better
[Chorus]
I liked the old me better, I was a lot more fun
I liked the old me better, I didn't take crap from anyone
Well I'd sleep all day, party all night
Did whatever I wanted whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man but I liked the old me better
No doubt about it, you're the only one
And I know you really love the man that I've become... but
[Chorus]
I liked the old me better, I was a lot more fun
I liked the old me better, I didn't take crap from anyone
Well I'd sleep all day, party all night
Did whatever I wanted whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man but I liked the old me better
[Bidge]
But I've got to say you're the only one that I've ever loved
You and I we're a good fit, like a hand and a glove
But now I'm sitting here looking back
Wearing this stupid sweater
Truth be told I've got to say I liked the old me better
[Chorus]
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, I party all night
Did whatever I wanted whatever I liked
You made me a brand new man but I liked old me better
You made me a brand new man but I
I liked old me better
