I Swear It (I Can Change)

Some people say that I'm a bad guy

They may be right, they may be wrong

But it's not as if I don't try

I just mess up and I go wrong

But I can change, I can change

I can learn to keep my promises, I swear it

Open up my heart and I will tear it

Any minute now, I swear, I'll share it

Oh it's strange, yes, it's strange

Though I guess it's quite clear

I killed the antelope, the deer

And there's no home on my range

Yes, I'm a little de-arranged but I can change

It's not my fault that I'm so evil

It's society, sobriety

You know my momma picked cotton

And my daddy, boll weevil

It was history, it wasn't me

But I can change, I can change

I can learn to keep my promises, I know it

Open up my heart and I will show it

Any minute passed 'til I outgrow it

You'll never change, you'll never change

You'll always be a dog with me

Yes, but don't be such a boob

Manna from Heaven shall be my food

My acts of past were misconstrued

And God above will watch me change

And while I'm changing, I'll be changing, while I change

Soon

But I can change, I can change

I can learn to keep my promises, I swear it

Open up my heart and I will tear it

Any minute now, I swear, I'll share it

I'm gonna change
