It's a sign of the times That your love for me is getting so much stronger It's a sign of the times And I know that I won't have to wait much longer You've changed a lot somehow from the one I used to know For when you hold me now, it feels like you never want to let me go It's a sign of the times That you call me up whenever you feel lonely It's a sign of the times That you tell your friends that I'm your one and only I'll never understand the way you treated me But when I hold your hand, I know you couldn't be the way you used to be Maybe my lucky star at last decided to shine Maybe somebody knows how long I've waited to make you mine, mmh I'll never understand the way you treated me But when I hold your hand, I know you couldn't be the way you used to be Maybe my lucky star at last decided to shine Maybe somebody knows how long I've waited to make you mine It's a sign of the times That you kiss me now as if you really mean it It's a sign of the times And a year ago I never could have seen it Don't ever change your mind and take your love away Just leave the past behind and, baby, only think of how it is today It's a sign of the times It's a sign of the times It's a sign of the times It's a sign of the times It's a sign of the times
