Lyrics
I might be an acquired taste
I might not be the kind of man
who can walk in this place
and have anyone, anytime
any way that he wanted.
Maybe I shouldn’t talk to you
Maybe you think I shouldn’t
think I’m anyone
Well, who are you
to be telling me anything
like you already know me?
Baby don’t you write me off
Baby don’t you write me off
Oh, baby don’t you write me off
and think I’m just gonna’ take it
Baby don’t you write me off
Baby don’t you write me off
Oh, baby that’s a big mistake
You can’t afford to make it.
Don’t you think I don’t know the score.
Do you really believe
that this is anything more
than that petty force
Always keeping the horses
from drinking the water?
Who do you think I want to be?
Would you be surprised
if he looked like me
and said all of the things
Made all the mistakes
and kept getting in trouble?
Baby don’t you write me off
Baby don’t you write me off
Oh, baby don’t you write me off
and think I’m just gonna’ take it
Baby don’t you write me off
Baby don’t you write me off
Oh, baby that’s a big mistake
You can’t afford to make it.
And it’s just one more trip around
And there’s just one more person
I’ve got to keep from dragging me down
