i am not a devil
i am not a saint
you can't tell if the wood is good
by looking at the paint
it's not that i don't love you
some words are just hard for me to say
i wish i was a poet
but honey i'm not built that way
i know someone hurt you
but that's all in the past
he was one to hit and run
but i don't work like that
i'm gonna take forever
to finish what we started here today
i just can't lie about it
honey i'm not built that way
i'm built to go the distance
solid as a rock
i climb all my mountains to the top
i won't run for cover
even when our sunny skies turn gray
honey i'm not built that way
saying it is one thing proving it takes time
but the thought that i don't love you
should never cross your mind
i'm built to go the distance
solid as a rock
i climb all my mountains to the top
i won't run for cover
even when our sunny skies turn gray
honey i'm not built that way
not built that way
i'm not built that way
