She can do anything at all Have anything she pleases The power to change what she thinks is wrong What could she want with me yeah Wait just one minute here I can see that she's trying to read me Suddenly I know She's going to change the world She's going to change the world She's going to change the world But she can't change me No, she can't change me She has the daylight at her command She gives the night its dreams, yeah She can uncover your darkest fears Make you forget you feel them Wait just one minute more I can see that she's trying to free me Suddenly I know She's going to change the world She's going to change the world She's going to change the world But she can't change me No, she can't change me Suddenly I can see everything that's wrong With me yeah What can I do I'm the only thing I really have At all But wait just one minute here I can see that she's trying to need me Suddenly I know She's going to change the world She's going to change the world She's going to change the world But she can't change me No, she can't Change Me
