Lyrics

Don't change your ways for me
Don't change
Don't change for me

Honey when we get together
I have a want
You've got those things
That I have on
Don't change your ways for me
Don't change your ways for me

Any dress that you put on
I'm gonna love
How could you think I won't?
I like you the way you be
Don't change yourself to please me

Baby don't change
Baby baby boss me around
We'll watch Gunsmoke too
Boss me around
Boss me around
???
Don't change yourself to please me

Honey when we get together I have a hunch
I'm gonna never have to worry what I want for lunch
I like you the way you be
Don't change your ways for me

Baby don't change
Baby baby boss me around
We'll watch Gunsmoke ???
Boss me around
Have things your way
Boss me around
Don't change your ways for me

Every song on the juke box sounds so sweet
Cause you're the one who picked them out they're bound to be
I like you ???
Don't change yourself for me

Baby don't change
Baby baby boss me around
All right
Baby baby boss me around
All day ???
Baby baby pick it up pick it up
Don't change baby baby pick it up pick it up
Don't change baby baby pick it up pick it up
Pick it up pick it up bring it up bring it up bring it up
All right

Lyrics

Dear don't change just to please me
You think I want you to be just like me?
I don't want that
Listen

Honey when we get together
I have a want
Since you've got those things
That I have on

Don't change your ways for me
That's right, don't change yourself for me

Any dress that you put on
I'm gonna love
How could you think I'll wont
Honey I like you just the way you've been
Don't change yourself to please me

Baby don't change
(Baby baby boss me around)
I'd rather do things your way
(Baby baby boss me around)
We always do things my way
(Baby baby boss me around)
Don't try to change your ways for me

Honey when we get together
I have a hunch
I'm gonna never have to worry what I want for lunch
What you cook is fine with me
Don't change your ways just for me

Baby don't change
(Baby baby boss me around)
Watch Gunsmoke, I don't even like it
(Baby baby boss me around)
We'll do things your way, watch Rawhide
(Baby baby boss me around)
Don't change your ways for me

Every song on the juke box sounds so sweet
Since you're the one who picked them out they're bound to be
What you like is fine with me
Don't change your tastes just for me

Baby don't change
(Baby baby boss me around)
That's right, not for me
(Baby baby boss me around)
???
(Baby baby boss me around)
???
(Baby baby boss me around)
???
(Baby baby boss me around)
That's right, I like you much better the way you are
(Baby baby boss me around)
(Baby baby boss me around)
(Baby baby boss me around)

Lyrics

[All right now, give me one of those uh ???

It's called uh "Baby boss me around cause don't change your ways for me,
In fact I'd rather have you boss me around
If it came down to that don't be afraid of me do things your way"]

Don't change your ways for me

[Honey, don't change your ways,

Just cause you think I'm gonna like it
Don't Change your ways For Me
Cause I like the way you do things as it is,
In fact you don't have to worry about what I want
You just make what you're gonna make I'm gonna like it anyway,

Lyrics

[All right

Dear don't change your ways cause you're intimidated by me,
I'd rather have you boss me around than me boss you around,
Dear don't change your ways just for me,
In fact we'll even watch Gunsmoke I don't care,
We'll even watch Rawhide, Flintstones,
I'd rather have your choice than mine
Cause I don't want you to be intimidated by me,
I don't want a slave,
In fact if there's some doubt, boss me around, I'd rather have that in fact]

Don't change your ways for me
Don't change
Don't change for me

Well honey when we get together

Since you've got the things
That I have on

Don't change your ways for me
Don't change yourself to try and please me

Well honey any dress that you put on

Now how could you even think that I wont
Honey I like you just the way you be
