I wish I could change you
I've tried and tried to work out and explain you
I've locked the door but I still can't escape you
So tell me what's a man to do?

Go ahead and turn off the lights
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of trying and making things worse

I know it ain't right
But it's late
Let the day go and run its course

I wish I could change you
I've tried and tried to work out and explain you
I've locked the door but I still can't escape you
So tell me what's a man to do?

Yeah I could do what you want
Like I've done before
You'll still be asking for more

I know I've gotta say no
Yeah I've gotta go
But still you're here so

I wish I could change you
I've tried and tried to work out and explain you
I've locked the door but I still can't escape you
So tell me what's a man to do?

I wish I could change you
I've tried and tried to work out and explain you
I've locked the door but I still can't escape you
So tell me what's a man to do?
