Writer Dolly Parton I can't be true no matter what I do It's a weakness of mine, nothin' to do with you So don't expect it of me though I expect it of you I love you, I do, but I can't be true Men are my weakness I've got a roving eye And I've fallen victim to many a smile I just love the excitement of love when it's new I'm just a hopeless romantic so I can't be true, I can't be true I can't be true no matter what I do It's a weakness of mine, nothin' to do with you So don't expect it of me though I expect it of you I love you, I do, but I can't be true, I can't be true Some play it safe while some like it hot I guess you could say I never knew when to stop But when I'm lovin' you, I'll give it all that I got
It might be different with you to know I can't be true I can't be true no matter what I do Oh I get around, and I break all of the rules Now that you know it's true, I'll leave the rest up to you I'll be good to you, but I can't be true, I can't be true I can't be true no matter what I do It's a weakness of mine, its not a weakness in you So don't expect it of me though I expect it of you I really love you, I do, but I can't be true, I can't be true I can't be true no matter what I do Oh I get around, and I break all of the rules Now that you know it's true, I'll leave the rest up to you I'll be good to you, but I can't be true, I can't be true
