Change ain't nothing new It wraps me up so tight So many things I gotta do But right now I'll just lie They say "People ain't fair," You are learning Even stars, when they set, They are burning Don't be kind, be wise Be mindful of the fact Even mothers, they lie I spent two weeks loving you You wrapped me up so tight When the change kept blowing through You kept me in the light They say "People ain't fair," You are learning Even stars, when they set, They are burning Don't be kind, be wise Be mindful of the fact Even mothers, they lie So, keep your secrets close and hold All those thoughts, all those memories All your socks and your clothes 'Cause when people get moving They don't make up, they go Change ain't nothing new It wraps me up so tight So many things I gotta do But right now I'll just lie Change ain't nothing new It wraps me up so tight So many things I gotta do
