Change - Lisa Stansfield

Morning is breaking up We've been waiting long For the light to come I used to be one of us Now it's all of us And this world I'm waking up to I know we're not there We're not starting off great But I'm doing better I feel something changing again I cry to the ocean, it said You know better than that You've got excuses, but they're all in the past I cried to heaven just to deal with the pain But the world doesn't owe you nothing You gotta change Change (change) Change We're changing Change (change) Change And all that I was is not What I am right now Not even halfway there Time to find out Sweet sea of ignorance We confuse ourselves With everything we got all around us And I know we're not there yet We're not starting off great But we're doing better I feel something changing again I cry to the ocean, it said You know better than that You got excuses, but they're all in the past I cried to heaven just to deal with the pain But the world doesn't owe you nothing You gotta change Change (change) Change We're changing Change (change) Change And I, I cry to the ocean, it said (you know better than that) Yeah, I know better than that (You've got excuses, but they're all in the past) I've got excuses, but they're all in the past I cried to heaven just to deal with the pain But heaven can't help you honey If you don't want to change You gotta change Change (change) Change We're changing Change (change) Change I feel something changing Change (change) Change I know I can Change (change) We gotta Change

Everywhere I go I find a little lost loves Taken with the tide My naivete dies Thrown up in the waves The salt underneath us shakes Heavy on the sea Our bodies wash up on the beach A slow fight Signs in the sky But we swore we'd try The waters cold No going home But we're still on hold I I I I and I Told you I would change But I'm still doing the same shit And yeah you thought I'd go your way But I'm still thinking the same things Strangers in loving Absently holding you It's always catching us up And yeah you told me you would change You're spinning out of my orbit Kingdom of the sky You're my religion in life But I'm thirsty for the blood A Burning desire for lust Frozen in a state Of loving you anyway Cause loving you is sweet When I'm not chasing fantasies Told you I would change But I'm still doing the same shit And yeah you thought I'd go your way But I'm still thinking the same things Strangers in loving Absently holding you It's always catching us up And yeah you told me you would change You're spinning out of my orbit All my life (all my life) Been falling out of time (been falling out of time) Been falling in and out again oh And I told you I would change But I'm still doing the same shit And yeah you thought I'd go your way But I'm still thinking the same things And I told you I would change But I'm still doing the same shit And yeah you thought I'd go ur way But I'm still thinking the same things Strangers in loving Absently holding you It's always catching us up And yeah you told me you would change You're spinning out of my orbit

(L. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris) Spoken: Don't worry about me, baby Whenever you walk by me, I can here you breath I can smell the love you made when you were gone Darlin' don't deny it, or make excuses I've heard too many lies, to know that I'm not wrong Baby don't insult me I'm too tired to let it hurt me Baby just believe me And give me back my key, and set me free Chorus: Keep you're body to yourself, or give it to somebody else You're poison Can't you you see I'm far to tough to let it hurt I've had enough of your poison Don't lay your hands upon me Just crawl back where you came from I shutter at the thought of you touching me You've stained the love I gave you Baby, not for long So much I could have given you But now you'll never know Baby don't insult me I'm too tired to let it hurt me Baby just believe me And give me back my key, and set me free Chorus Got bad habits on your mind, you're underhanded I'm not blind to your poison Spoken: Don't make me laugh, you've told so many lies And of all the lies you told me, baby, you're the biggest You think you've hurt me I'm far too strong to let it get to me Can't you see that I'm not crying anymore So just get off my back, and leave me alone Chorus

Just the way you walked, walked into my life Then you walked right out, you were as cold as ice How could you be mean, to treat me so unkind Now I'm on my own, in a cold and lonely life Wake up baby Can't you see I'm half insane Wake up baby 'Cause you know I'm not to blame You know you're crazy to throw it all away So won't you wake up baby Baby Take the time to look, look into my eyes Then you'll see this girl will always love you right She will always try to give you what you need So askin' you, I'm beggin' and I'm pleadin' with you Wake up baby Can't you see I'm half insane Wake up baby 'Cause you know I'm not to blame You know you're crazy to throw it all away So won't you wake up baby Baby Can't you see you're just killin' me I'm on my own and I'm all alone Don't cha know that you're not at home I can't sleep at night I get so uptight Whatcha been is bad to me If you had heart boy, you'd be smarter Lied, cheated and mistreated Listen baby, you're out of order
