Change Your World
Anthony Hamilton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The mere mentioning of your name
If they knew I love you, the way that I feel
And kissing couldn't be a shame
When you love someone
And falling in love
There's no blame
When it's all said and done
And I never knew about this thing, yeah
'Cause there were no clues, oh what a shame
Oh, when you stop
And start falling in love
It changes your whole world
Turns your world upside down
I must admit I stand accused
Of falling in love
Long before you said hello
And I said I do
It was all new to me
An unfamiliar world
A beauty unknown to man
And a cure for the blues
And I never knew about this thing, yeah
'Cause there were no clues, oh what a shame
