Therell Be Some Changes Made by Ethel Waters Lyrics

[Verse]
They say don't change the old for the new
But I've found out that this will never do
When you grow old, you don't last long
You're just here, my honey, then you're gone
I loved a man for many years gone by
I thought his love for me would never die
He made a change and said I would not do
So now I'm going to make some changes too

[Chorus]
Why, there's a change in the weather, there's a change in the sea
So from now on there'll be a change in me
My walk will be be different, my talk, and my name
Nothing about me's going to be the same
I'm gonna change my long, tall one for a little, short fat
I'm gonna change my number where I'm living at
Because nobody wants you when you're old and gray
There's gonna be some changes made today
There'll be some changes made
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Why, there's a change in the weather, there's a change in the sea
So from now on there'll be a change in me
Why, my walk will be be different, my talk, and my name
Nothing about me's gonna be the same
I'm gonna change my way of livin', and that ain't no bluff
Why, I'm thinkin' about changin' the way I gotta strut my stuff
Because nobody wants you when you're old and gray
There's gonna be some changes made today
There'll be some changes made
