There's Been a Change In Me

When I was very young my mother often said

I was a bashful kid my face was always red

I was afraid of girls but now you see

Lordy, Lord, there's been a change in me.



Then at the age of twelve I went to my first dance

We played some kissin' games and then I got the chance

To learn about how nice a kiss could be

You know there was a change in me.

I started to notice in the little girl next door

I walked her home from school I never did before

I even carved her name upon a tree

Oh boy, there was a change in me.



I took the slick enough my hair were lots of clues

And I would shine my shoes and look in mirrors too

Until my mother said why son it's doom, ain't it

There's been a change in you.



--- Instrumental ---



As the years went by I surely get around

Why I was number one 'bout all the girls in town

I had a different date most every night (whistle)

There was a change alright.



But now I've met a gal who stole my heart away

I'm gonna marry her and settle down someday

And if I'm true to her then I'll agree, ha, ha,

There's been a change in me...
