Ethel Waters — Therell Be Some Changes Made

[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
