I want to find a woman who will change me,
who won't just love me for who I am.
She'll see my potential and remind me every day
how I'm not good enough until I change my ways.
I long to find a love that's everlasting -
contingent upon my evolution.
She'll change what I wear and how I fix my hair,
all because she loves me and all that I could be.
Please don't take me as I am.
Please don't settle for where I live.
You can make me better than I've ever been before.
I just want to be like all your other boys.
I want to be well-versed in conversation
and please her with all that I say.
She can choose all my friends and point out all the sins
of my prior life and the people I call friends.
I know that I could be something special.
A flower waiting to bloom.
I just need to find me a woman
who will change me through and through.
Please don't take me as I am.
Please don't settle for where I live.
You can make me better than I've ever been before.
I just want to be like all your other boys.
