Lyrics

Look What You Made of Me

**Verse 1**
I used to leave before the sunrise
Never stayed to say goodbye
Kept one foot outside the doorway
Never let nobody ask me why

I laughed at men who bought fresh flowers
Called devotion something weak
Now I’m standing at your doorstep
With roses trembling in my grip

I used to guard every emotion
Like a secret locked away
Now I tell you what I’m feeling
Before you even have to say

**Pre-Chorus**
I don’t recognize this man, baby
But I like who he has come to be
Your loving reached beneath my pride
And pulled the truth out of me

**Chorus**
You make me do things I never do
Call just to hear your voice come through
Turn my car around halfway home
Because one more hour feels too long

You make me do things I never tried
Lay my stubborn ways aside
I used to run when love got deep
Now I’m asking you to stay with me

Look what you made of me, woman
I’m doing things I never do

**Verse 2**
I used to spend each Sunday sleeping
Now I’m helping fix your mama’s gate
Used to hate those crowded markets
Now I carry bags and never complain

I learned the names of all your cousins
Know which auntie talks too much
And I sit there smiling through the stories
Just to feel your knee against my touch

I even started saving money
For that trip you always planned
Never thought I’d build tomorrow
With forever in my hands

**Pre-Chorus**
I thought love would take my freedom
But your love gave me direction
Every change I used to fear
Feels like a better kind of man

**Chorus**
You make me do things I never do
Speak the truth and follow through
Put your needs beside my own
And hurry every evening home

You make me do things I never tried
Say I’m sorry without a fight
I used to treat love like a game
Now forever don’t sound strange

**Bridge**
My friends keep saying I’m different
They say you turned me soft somehow
But it takes a stronger kind of man
To give a good woman what she deserves now

I’ll stand beside you when you’re weary
I’ll listen when your words get hard
Because loving you ain’t losing myself
It’s teaching me to use my heart

And if somebody laughs about it
Let them laugh till they’re through
A man will change his whole direction
When he finds a love this true

**Final Chorus**
You make me do things I never do
Pray for me and pray for you
Talk about a little house
And who might fill those bedrooms out

You make me do things I never tried
Let you see the fear I hide
I used to think that love meant chains
Now I know that love can change a man

Look what you made of me, woman
I’m standing where I used to run
You make me do things I never do
And, baby, I ain’t finished loving you

**Outro**
So keep your hand inside my hand
Keep bringing out this better man
I never knew my heart could move
Till you made me do the things I never do.
