Lyrics for There'll Be Some Changes Made
They say don't change the old for the new But I've found out this will never do When you grow old you don't last long You're here today and then tomorrow you're gone I loved a man(gal) for many years gone by I tho't his(her) love for me would never die He(She) made some changes that would never do From now on I'm goin' to make some changs too For there's a change in the weather There's a change in the sea So from now on there'll be a change in me My walk will be diff'rent, my talk and my name Nothin' about me is goin' to be the same I'm goin' to change my way of livin' if that ain't enough Then I'll change the way that I strut my stuff 'Cause nobody wants you when you're old and gray There'll be some changes made They say the old time things are the best That may be very good for all the rest But I'm goin' to let the old things be 'Cause they are certainly not suited for me There was a time when I thought that way That's why I'm all alone here today Since ev'ry one of these days seeks something new From now on I'm goin' to seek some new things too For there's a change in the weather There's a change in the sea So from now on there'll be a change in me Why, my walk will be be different, and my talk and my name Nothing about me gonna be the same I'm gonna change my way of livin', and that ain't no shock Why, I'm thinking of changin' the way I gotta set my clock Because nobody wants you when you're old and gray There's gonna be some changes made today There'll be some changes made
