Old Me Better

When I first laid eyes on you

I swore I’d do anything

But you cleaned me up, fixed me up

Just to get you to wear my wedding ring

Now I’ve having second thoughts

And I’m writing you this letter

I’m scared to tell you to your face

That I like the old me better.


I like the old me better

I was a lot more fun

I like the old me better

Didn’t take crap from anyone

But I’d sleep all day, party all night

Do whatever I want whatever I liked

Baby, you made me a brand new man

But I like the old me better


Don’t get me wrong, it ain’t that bad

And I appreciate your work

I don’t drink too much I don’t swear too much

You even made me go to church

I ain’t done much talkin’ since the day we got together

I’m a different man because of you

But I like the old me better


I like the old me better

I was a lot more fun

I like the old me better

Didn’t take crap from anyone

But I’d sleep all day, party all night

Do whatever I want whatever I liked

You made me a brand new man

But I like the old me better


No doubt about it, you’re the only one

And I know you really love the man that I’ve become

But I like the old me better

I was a lot more fun

I like the old me better

Didn’t take crap from anyone

But I’d sleep all day, party all night

Do whatever I want whatever I liked

You made me a brand new man

But I like the old me better


Well I got to say you are the only one that I’ve ever loved

You and I have a good thing, we’re like hand in glove

But now I’m sitting here looking back

Wearing this stupid sweater

Truth be told I got to say

I like the old me better


I like the old me better

I was a lot more fun

I like the old me better

Didn’t take crap from anyone

But I’d sleep all day, party all night

Do whatever I want whatever I liked

You made me a brand new man

But I like the old me better

You made me a brand new man

But I—me—I like the old me better.
