I'm Not Built That Way

Writers: Jerry Salley, Kristy Cox

Vs1)
If you're looking for someone to hold for just one night
Instead of one you wanna hold forever
Well, I can tell you that I'm not the one that you'll be holding tight
Cause baby when you put it all together

CH1)
I'm not built that way
I can't promise you my heart
If you can't promise me you'll stay
If you think love's just a game
Boy, I can't play
I'm not built that way

VS2)
I used to give in every time you'd come around like this
Cause I'm just flesh and bones that's how God made me
But boy till you convince me you want more than what this is
I'm not gonna settle for just maybe

Chorus

Br)
Before you get the best of me
I need to know I'm all you need
I'm not the kind to wait around and see

Br)
Baby, I'd be lying in your arms tonight
If I didn't care that you'd still be here come the morning light.....but, I'm not built that way.

Or,

Baby, I'd be lying in your arms tonight
If I didn't care that you'd still be here come the morning light....but I'm just not that kind
No, I'm not built that way...

OR,
If I didn't care that you'd still be here come the morning light
Baby, I'd be in your arms tonight (right now), but (baby) I'm just not that kind

No, I'm not built that way....

If I didn't carethink that you might leave before the morning light
Boy, I'd be in your arms right now
But I'm just not that kind.




I gotta know you mean it
I gotta know it's true
I need to know you love me
Before I give it all to you
Before I say those words to you
I need to know that you believe
Love is more than words to me
If you think I'll just wait and see..
I need to know I'm all you need
Before you get the best of me
I need to know I'm all you need
I'm not the kind to wait around and see
I'm not

There's just one way you can get the best of me

I'm for you and you're for me

Can't you see..


There's no way I'll settle for a maybe
I'm through letting you drive me crazy



How I was made.

Vs2)
I guess I'm old- fashioned - it's just how I was raised
That easydon't blame me
I don't apologize for how I was made..
How God made me

But baby..maybe.

Everytime you come around I hope .
You finally realize
Then you run..never will be mine
I believe there's someone out there waiting for a heart like mine
And I don't care if people call me crazy..and I don't care if you think that sounds crazy
I need you more than just tonight
there's no way I can settle for a maybe

I wish I could give in to you when you come around like this
I'm just flesh and bones that's how God made me..

VS2)

There's no way I'll settle for a maybe
I'm through letting you drive me crazy

Wish I didn't give in every time you come around like this
It's no secret how you drive me crazy
But I believe that love is more and I need more than this
More than what this is
The truth is I need more than what this is
I just can't settle for
till commit

I wish I could give in..

If you think I'll settle for a maybeif you think I'm gonna settle for a maybe

You won't be the one that I call mine.before I'd call you mine

I believe that love's more than a word
I can'twon't apologize for how God made me
I believe there's someone out there waiting for a heart like mine
So if you think I'll settle for a maybe

I wish I could give in everytime you come ar
