Violent Femmes - I Swear It (I Can Change) lyrics

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 dare 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 k**ed an antelope and deer And there's no home on my range Yes, I'm a little deranged 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 pa**ed '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 b**b 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, I'm gonna 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 dare it Any minute now I swear I'll share it I'm gonna change
