Ethel Waters - 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
