I Need a Change Songtext
von Smoove & Turrell

I met myself in twenty years time
A shadow, it was not me
I looked around and I was sickened to think
Is this all my life could be?

Stepped off the train, we′re home again
Three years away, a brand new start
Nothing to show but a bag of clothes
And all these memories in my heart

I got to change (Ain't no point in doin′ the foolish things again)
I need to change, yeah (I need to get myself together)
I got to change (ain't no point in doin' the foolish things again)
Lord, help me change (I need to get myself together)

You see these men that we all know
Working seven days a week
Give all their money to the barman
And pittance for their wives to keep


Well it′s an easy trap I fell into
A different way of life
Spent what earned, the rest I burned up drinking
To sleep well every night

I got to change (Ain′t no point in doin' the foolish things again)
I need to change, yeah, yeah (I need to get myself together)
I got to change, yeah, yeah (Ain′t no point in doin' the foolish things again)
Lord, help me change (I need to get myself together)

I got to change (Ain′t no point in doin' the foolish things again)
Lord, help me change, yeah (I need to get myself together)
I need to change (Ain′t no point in doin' the foolish things again)
Please, help me change, help me change, yeah, yeah (I need to get myself together)

Well it's an easy trap I fell into
A different way of life
Spent what earned, the rest I burned, drinking
Drinking to sleep well every night

Well I know, I could go on an expression
Because it′s killing me straight to the bone
Ain′t no place I wanna be right now
Than the sweet, sweet smell of home


I got to change (Ain't no point in doin′ the foolish things again)
I need to change, yeah, yeah (I need to get myself together)
I got to change, yeah, yeah (Ain't no point in doin′ the foolish things again)
Lord, help me change (I need to get myself together)

I got to change (Ain't no point in doin′ the foolish things again)
Lord, help me change, yeah (I need to get myself together)
I need to change (Ain't no point in doin' the foolish things again)
Please, help me change, help me change, yeah, yeah (I need to get myself together)

Ain′t no point in doin′ the foolish things again (I got to change)
Ain't no point, I gots to get myself together
Ain′t no point in doin' the foolish things again (I got to change)
Ain′t no point, I gots to get myself together

Ain't no point in doin′ the foolish things again (I got to change)
Ain't no point, I gots to get myself together
Ain't no point in doin′ the foolish things again (I got to change)
Ain′t no point, I gots to get myself together

Ain't no point in doin′ the foolish things again (I got to change)
Ain't no point, I gots to get myself together
Ain′t no point in doin' the foolish things again (I got to change)
Ain′t no point, I gots to get myself together
