Lyrics - You Made Me That Way by Andy Griggs

(david malloy/gary burr)
If
I seem like a little too much to handle
If
I laugh like an angel on judgment day
If
I burn like the sparks of a roman candle
Oh baby you made me that way
If my heart starts to pound like a bass drum drummin’
Like the beat when an old sun record plays
And if
I turn my back when the train is comin’
Oh baby you made me that way
I used to play it safe
Never thinkin’ what
I might miss
Who knew there’d come a day
I would come alive like this
With just one kiss
If
I choose the edge over the middle
If
I moan at the sound of a certain name
And if
I lean just this side of illegal
Oh baby you made me that way
Well
I used to play it safe
Never thinkin’ what
I might miss
Who knew there’d come a day
I would come alive like this
With just one kiss
If
I seem like a little too much to handle
If
I laugh like an angel on judgment day
And if
I burn like the sparks from a roman candle
Oh baby you made me that way
Well,
I’m proud to say
Oh baby you made me that way
