Ethel Waters There`ll Be Some Changes Made Lyrics

There`ll Be Some Changes Made Lyrics

They say don't change the old for the new; 

But I've found out that this will never do; 

When you grow old, you don't last long, 

You're just here, my honey, then you're gone; 

I loved a man for many years gone by, 

I thought his love for me would never die; 

He made a change and said I would not do, 

So now I'm going to make some changes, too. 



Why, 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 be different, my talk, and my name, 

Nothing about me's going to be the same; 

I'm gonna change my long tall one for a little short 'n fat, 

I'm gonna change my number that I'm living at; 

Because nobody wants you when you're old and gray. 

There's gonna be some changes made today, 

There'll be some changes made. 



Why, 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 living, 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
