Duet with Porter Wagoner Writer Dolly Parton Copyright 1972 Hmm (oh ain't he cute) ah well I don't like to get up if I feel like sleeping No and I don't like to sweep my floor if I don't feel like sweeping [ Both ] If you don't like the way I am then you can move along You can't change the way I am I've been this way too long I've been this way too long and you can't ever change me now Don't waste your time in tryin' cause I am just what I am I've got my way of doin' things and who can say I'm wrong You can't change the way I am I've been this way too long Oh and I don't like to make my bed if I don't feel like makin' it No and I don't like to bake no bread if I don't feel like bakin' it If you don't like the way I am then you can move along Cause you can't change the way I am I've been this way too long Well I don't like to hoe no corn if I don't feel like hoein' it (You should you're corny) And I don't like to mow no grass if I don't feel like mowin' it (I know it's comin' through the upstairs window) If you don't like the way I am then you can move along You can't change the way I am I've been this way too long If you don't like the way I am... Oh as far as I can remember back you have been this way (And as long as you remember I will be honey) When you was in the first grade you was exact the same way (First grade I was waitin' for the second) You swiped the pencils and scattered paper all over the desk (Oh that's real cute you're makin' up stuff)
