Therell Be Some Changes Made — текст песни (Billie Holiday)

W. benton overstreet / billy higgins



They say dont change the old for the new

But Ive found out that this will never do

When you grow old dont last long

Youre here today and then tomorrow youre gone

I loved a man for many years gone by

I thought his love for me would never die

He made some changes that would never do

From now on Im going to make some changes too

For theres a change in the weather

Theres a change in the sea

So from now on therell be in change in me

My walk will be different, my talk and my name

Nothin about me is going to be the same

Im goin to change my wayof livin

If that aint enough

Then Ill change the way that I strut my stuff

cause nobody wants you when youre old and gray

Therell be some changes made today

Therell be some changes made



The say the old time things are the best

That may be very good for all the rest

But Im going let the old things be

cause they are certainly not suited for me

There was a time when I thought that way

Thats why Im all alone here today

Since every one these days seeks something new

From now on Im goin to seek some new things too

For theres a change in the fashion

Ask the femine folks

Even jack benny has changed jokes

I must make some changes from old to new

I must do things just the same as others do

Im goin to change my long, tall daddy for a little short fat

Goin to change the number where I live at

I must have some lovin or Ill fade away

Therell be some changes made today

Therell be some changes made today
