All of the people in this town Pick you up just to push you down Looking around the sky turns black Your eyes so sad - I know you won't come back But don't ever change Don't ever change Oh James Don't ever, don't ever change My life has been rearranged Oh James All of the dirt 'neath your fingernails Is from dragging yourself from their vicious tales Fierceness like ice in your eyes so blue Beaten and blamed for everything you do But don't ever change Don't ever change Oh James Don't ever, don't ever change My heart has been rearranged Oh James You say you know all the reasons they hurt you But I don't think I'll ever understand They've torn your heart and soul apart Tears flood the lakes of your eyes so blue Squirm as the knife is turning The fire in your eyes is burning They've torn your life and soul apart But don't ever change Don't ever change Oh James Don't ever, don't ever change My life has been rearranged Oh James
