The Hollies
Don't Even Think About Changing
(Alan Clarke/Tony Hicks/Graham Nash)
Track 11 on album 'For Certain Because' (December 1966)
When people put you down
it's 'cause they're jealous of you.
They shouldn't make you frown
you know as well as I do.
It's 'cause I'm happy
for the things you do for me.
One day they'll realise
and wish that they were me.
One thing I know for sure
we'll both get satisfaction.
That's why they're mad at us
'cause they ain't got what we got.
It's 'cause I'm happy
for the things you do for me.
One day they'll realise
and wish that they were me.
Don't even think about changing.
You've got a life of your own.
{interlude}
Don't even think about changing.
You've got a life of your own.
Why don't they understand
our feelings are sincere.
One day they'll be surprised
because we are so near.
To all the things they tried
to be when they were young.
That's why they don't agree
and take it out on us.
It's cause I'm happy
for the things you do for me.
One day they'll realise
and wish that they were me.
{fadeout}
It's cause I'm happy
for the things you do for me
