| Lie in bed, I’m tossing |
| I’m wide awake till morning |
| Worried that I’m losing |
| The things that are important |
| You said: «I hope you don’t change |
| Cause I like you just the way you are» |
| And now I’m trying so hard (so hard) |
| To let you know that, oh |
| Day after day, I continue to be |
| The same old girl that I’ve always been |
| (That I’ve always been) |
| Change is gonna come, I know it, we know it |
| But I promise not to change, promise that I’ll stay the same |
| Change is gonna come, I know it, we know it |
| But you better believe I’m still the girl next door |
| Uh, spending time in LA (LA) |
| While my watch is still on Eastern time |
| Cause no matter where I go, how far, I know, I know, I know, I know |
| All my homies home a hold me down |
| And boy, get your dusty foot off my couch |
| Get that blunt outta your mouth |
| Before you get run outta my house (bounce, bounce, bounce) |
| We been rocking since the basement |
| Since we worked minimum wages, fool |
| Pass me the remote, ain’t nothin' changing but the station, fool |
| Day after day, I continue to be |
| The same old girl that I’ve always been |
| Change is gonna come, I know it, we know it |
| But I promise not to change, promise that I’ll stay the same |
| Change is gonna come, I know it, we know it |
| But you better believe I’m still the girl next door |
| Change is gonna come |
| But you better believe I’m still the girl next door |
| Change is gonna come |
| But you better believe I’m still the girl next door |
| And I hope you know I’m always right here when you wanna come knockin' |
| If you wanna come knockin' |
| Change is gonna come, I know it, we know it |
| But I promise not to change, promise that I’ll stay the same |
| Change is gonna come, I know it, we know it |
| But you better believe I’m still the girl next door |
| Change is gonna come |
| But you better believe I’m still the girl next door |
| Change is gonna come |
| But you better believe I’m still the girl next door |
