I've Been This Way Too Long Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

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)
