Things Change Songtext
von Terri Hendrix

Things change
Things change
Yeah, things change
Things change

Things changed for her when you voted for Bush
Put on a bra, put away your tie-dyes
Found religion, got born again
Then let a man come between you and your friends
You swore it never happened, but it did

′Cause things change
Things change

Things changed for you when she got a nose ring
And suddenly thought she knew everything
As if how she looked made her oh so worldly wise
The fact is you buy National Geographic
She's been to Africa
I kinda like that dress she brought back for me
′Cause the label says fits one size


But things change
Things change
Things change

That's for sure
Only the best of friends
Will endure
Each other
When things change

Well things changed for me when y'all didn′t call
When I lost my job
Then my dog died
He was diabetic
I didn′t know it 'til he was gone
Then both my folks were in the hospital
The same week
The week I buried my dog
And the only one who sent me a card was my gynecologist
′Cause I missed my appointment

Things change
They sure do change


Things change for all of us
Kids, work, health, money
This, that and the other
I got so scared
I just wanted to shake under the covers
And wait in the dark with my fists drawn
Ready to slap life in the face
And kick fate where it hurts

I searched all over my house for my favorite singer
She's on an unmarked tape

As if her voice could bring me peace
And as if I even had a cassette player that worked anymore

There′s no doubt about it
Things change
Things change
That's for sure
Only the best of friends
Will endure
Each other
When things change

Things change
Things change
