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 here today and then tomorrow you're gone I loved a man for many years gone by I thought my love for him would never die He made some changes that would never do From now on I'm going to make some changes too There's a change in the weather Change in the sea From now on there'll be in change in me My walk will be different, my talk and my name Nothin' about he is going to be the same I'll change my way of livin' If that ain't enough Then I'll change the way that I strut my stuff Nobody wants you when you're old and gray There'll be some changes made today There'll be some changes made 'Cause there's a change in the weather, Change in the sea From now on there'll be a change in me My walk will be different, my talk and my name Nothing about me's goin' be the same I'll change my way of livin' If that ain't enough Then I'll change the way that I strut my stuff Nobody wants you when you're old and gray There'll be some changes made today There'll be some changes made
