Don't try to change me to what works for you
Don't boss me around or tell me what to do
This is who I am, like it or not
Ya gotta be fine with me or find another spot
I ain't putting up with no flim or no flam
If you're stayin' here, then take me as I am
Accept this girl for what you see
Or you can move on baby, cause I'd rather be free
Well I like your company and all your charm
I even like it when you take me by the arm
You know I like the way you pay for my meal
But don't you ever go and try and make me heel
I'd like to share your riches and your gold
I'd love a second house in Monte Carlo
I'd like a nice convertible car
But it's just not worth it if you push it too far
Well I need you to know I'm quite independent
Unless of course, it's terribly inconvenient
I know what you're thinking when you're lookin' at me
Well maybe all you wanted was a devotee
Well, I must admit I can be confusing
With all of my fussing and all my musing
But that's how it is, what can I say
Will you go or will you stay? I don't know...
So don't try to change me to what works for you
Don't boss me around or tell me what to do
This is who I am, like it or not
Ya gotta be fine with me or find another spot
I ain't putting up with no flim or no flam
If you're stayin' here, then take me as I am
Accept this girl for what you see
Or you can move on baby
You can move on fella
You can move on with your life
Cause I'd rather be free
