Billie Holiday - There'll Be Some Changes Made lyrics
[Billie Holiday - There'll Be Some Changes Made lyrics]
They say don't change the old for the new
But I've found out that this will never do
When you grow old don't last long
You're here today and then
Tomorrow you're 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 I'm going to
Make some changes too
For there's a change in the weather
There's a change in the sea
So from now on there'll be in change in me
My walk will be different
My talk and my name
Nothin' about me is going to be the same
I'm goin' to change my wayof livin'
If that ain't enough
Then I'll change the way that
I strut my stuff
'Cause nobody wants you when
You're old and gray
There'll be some changes made today
There'll be some changes made
The say the old time things are the best
That may be very good for all the rest
But I'm goin'g let the old things be
'Cause they are certainly not suited for me
There was a time when I thought that way
That's why I'm all alone here today
Since every one these days
Seeks something new from now on I'm goin' to
Seek some new things too
For there's 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
I'm 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 I'll fade away
There'll be some changes made today
There'll be some changes made today
But I've found out that this will never do
When you grow old don't last long
You're here today and then
Tomorrow you're 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 I'm going to
Make some changes too
For there's a change in the weather
There's a change in the sea
So from now on there'll be in change in me
My walk will be different
My talk and my name
Nothin' about me is going to be the same
I'm goin' to change my wayof livin'
If that ain't enough
Then I'll change the way that
I strut my stuff
'Cause nobody wants you when
You're old and gray
There'll be some changes made today
There'll be some changes made
The say the old time things are the best
That may be very good for all the rest
But I'm goin'g let the old things be
'Cause they are certainly not suited for me
There was a time when I thought that way
That's why I'm all alone here today
Since every one these days
Seeks something new from now on I'm goin' to
Seek some new things too
For there's 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
I'm 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 I'll fade away
There'll be some changes made today
There'll be some changes made today
