Changes... changes... changes...

I know you think you've got me where you want me
Tired up in the chains you know I can't shake free
Caught up in the trap you call affection
Now I've seen it all just take your hands off me

Changes... changes... 

Someday somehow there's gonna be some changes,
You can scream and shout but you don't have the
Right to tell me
Here and now there's gonna be you're gonna see
Some changes, changes, changes

You just don't have the right
you won't hurt me tonight

Trusting you it all adds up to nothing
Dealing with the lies it's all a part of you
Promises that should have come to something
But I don't need your empty-headed attitude

Changes... changes

Someday somehow there's gonna be some changes,
You can scream and shout but you don't have the
Right to tell me
Here and now there's gonna be you're gonna see
Some changes, changes ,changes

Repeat again

You just don't have the right
you won't hurt me tonight

Changes, changes

Someday somehow there's gonna be some changes,
You can scream and shout but you don't have the
Right to tell me
Here and now there's gonna be you're gonna see
Some changes, changes, changes

Repeat again

You just don't have the right
you won't hurt me tonight
Changes... changes...
