Things Have Changed Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

"Feeling good to You, Bettye"
"Good"
"Alright"

Worried woman with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
Sittin′ on a strange man's lap, drinkin′ champagne
He's got light skin, and an assassin's eyes
I′m looking up into a sapphire tinted sky
I′m all dressed up, I'm waiting on the last train

Feel like I′m standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose

People are crazy and times are strange
I′m locked in tight and I'm way out of range
I used to care but things have changed


Forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the whole damn world′s gonna explode
I've been trying to get just as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You just can't win with a losing hand

Lotta water under the bridge
A lotta other stuff, too
Don′t get up, gentlemen
I′m just passin' through
People are crazy; times are strange
I′m locked in tight and I'm way out of range
I used to care but things have changed

This place here ain′t doing me no good
It's got me all fucked up
I should be in Hollywood
Just for a second there, I thought I saw somethin′ move
Gonna take dancin' lessons, gonna learn the jitterbug rag
I ain't takin′ no shortcuts, I might even dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he′s got anything to prove

Feel like fallin' in love with the very next man I see
Grab him by the hand, and go runnin′, ooh, down the street
People are crazy; times are strange
I'm locked in tight, and I′m way out of range
I used to care, but things have changed


Feel like fallin' in love
With the very next man I meet
Grab him by the hand and go runnin′ down the street
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight and I'm out of range
I used to care but things have changed

I hurt easy but I just don′t show it
You can hurt somebody and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get low down, fly real high
All the truth in the world ain′t nothin' but one big lie
I′m in love with a man that don't even appeal to me

Some folks would just go and jump in the lake
I ain′t so eager to make that kinda mistake

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight but I′m way out of range
I used to care but things have changed
Things have changed
Things have changed
Things have changed
Things have changed
Things have changed
