Don't Go Changing

Heard the story a hundred times (possibly more): Boy marries girl wanting nothing to change, girl marries boy hoping he'll change... Boy never changes, girl does... and they wonder why it didn't work. Oh well...

Today's tune, "Don't Go Changing" by Watershed tells the other to not take anything away, don't change the way I am.

The lines, "Don’t go changing, whatever you need, Whatever you want me to be…" is one of those motto's I pretty much go by for most things. For the most part, you can't compromise yourself out of things or even in parts. If someone won't take you for you, the whole you (yup, warts and all) it's usually not worth pursuing.

I don’t know why I drown in your tears,
I don’t know why I bleed
I don’t know why you took it from me,
What gave you that right to steal…

So don’t go changing, things about me,
Things that you think will do me well,
Don’t go changing, whatever you need,
Whatever you want me to be…

I don’t know why you laid me down, led me on
And I don’t know why I was weak…
I don’t know why it never, never occurred to me,
I don’t know what I think…

So don’t go changing things about me,
Things that you think will do me well,
Don’t go changing, whatever you need,
Whatever you want me to be…

Oh and when, when will she notice me again,
Oh and when I see her sitting next to him,
Oh I know, I know it’s happening again…
I feel sad for him, oh I feel sad for him…

I don’t know what to do when I’m alone,
And I don’t know which way to go…
If she comes to me and she says please, please,
I think that I will, I think that I will,
I think that I will, I think that I will…

So don’t go changing, things about me,
Things that you think will do me well,
Don’t go changing, whatever you need,
Whatever you want me to be…

So don’t go changing, things about me,
Things that you think will do me well,
Don’t go changing, whatever you need,
Whatever you want me to be…

So don’t go changing, things about me,
Things that you think will do me well,
Don’t go changing, whatever you need,
Whatever you want me to be…


Never change into something someone else wants you to be... always want them to want you the way you are.
