I'm just a man and I am what I am

Nobody will ever change my ways

I don't need money and I don't need no lies

I only need to live for today

But I'd like to talk things over with you

I want to hear the things you say, today

Although you won't change my anyway, no no way



I wish you'd come and see me, I'd like to hold you

I want to set my mind all free

You understand me woman, you give me time

But I don't need no sympathy

Still I wonder what it's like to be loved

Instead of hiding in myself

Nobody will change me anyway, no no way



Nobody's gonna change my world

That's something too unreal

Nobody will change the way I feel



So listen to me now, hear what I say

Please give me time and maybe love

If there's a God up there, well I hope he helps me

I need him now to set me free

'Cause it may be that it's over for me

If you don't hear the things that I say, today

Nobody will change me anyway, no no way



Nobody's gonna change my world, that's something too unreal

Nobody will change the way I feel
