Don't Even Think About Changing
Hollies · Clarke Hicks & Nash Years [2011]
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 love you
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 both get satisfaction
That's why they're mad at us
'cos they ain't got what we got
It's 'cos 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
Break
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
It's cause I'm happy
For the things you do for me
Don't Even Think About Changing
Released by The Hollies on their 2011 compilation Clarke Hicks & Nash Years, this track exemplifies the group's signature mid-60s British Invasion sound. The song features the band's characteristic vocal harmony arrangements and upbeat tempo, typical of their work during the era when they were a leading force in the UK pop scene. While the specific songwriting credits for this recording are not always explicitly detailed in public records, it reflects the collaborative spirit of the group's catalogue. The Hollies were known for their ability to blend catchy melodies with socially conscious themes, and this recording captures that essence within the framework of their extensive discography from the early 1960s.
