Change Your Name Songtext
von Raye Zaragoza

On a boat from Japan
Five stitches in my head
To America to meet my Dad
Holding on to paper dolls
Different food and different talk
I wonder if I′ll like this new land

Holding on to what Mama said to me

They may change your name
They may change your name
To something they can say
But you're gonna be okay

We arrive one room flat
Between Columbus and Amsterdam
I see other girls but I don′t look like them
Papa opens up a store
Selling smokes and trinkets from back home
Searching for some form of an American dream

Holding on to what mama said to me


They may change your name
They may change your name
To something they can say
But you're gonna be okay
They may call your names
We'll make it anyway
They can′t change your ways
They may change your name

But you′re the same to me
You're the same to me
You′re the same to me
We'll call you Shirley

They may change your name
They may change your name
To something they can say
But you′re gonna be okay
They may call your names
We'll make it anyway
They can′t change your ways
They may change your name
