Babe, I can't change my tune for you
But I'll sing any melody you want me to
I'll sing all the country and all of the blues
But babe, I can't change my tune for you
So don't ask me to

But babe, I can pull some strings for you
I'll pull them until each one is in tune
I'll try to make things go like you want to
But babe, I can't change my tune for you
But I'll pull strings for you

Maybe I'll write a song about you
Even though I am just passing through
I'll sing you all the old songs and all of the new
'Cause babe, I can't change my tune for you
So don't ask me to
