You've Changed
Kimberley Locke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know something's happened it ain't the same
We started out as friends
No doubt we'd be 'til the very end (Then it happened)
One thing led to another
Then we fell in love with each other
Oh, how beautiful things were between us back then

It was so sweet
Used to send roses to my job in the middle of the week(Then it happened)
One thing led to another
Now we hardly speak to each other
It's so strange, so strange

[Chorus:]
(You've changed)
I miss the conversation
Miss the stimulation
Mis communicating
(You've changed)
I miss the lovey-dovey
Feel it when you hug me
Know you still love me
So don't change(Don't change)

Used to make love for hours
Turn right around and take long hot showers
But now we just go through the motions
What's love if there ain't no emotion
Just ain't the same, ain't the same

The beautiful thing that we had
Used to be good now it hurts me so bad
Now when I look in your eyes
All I see is emptiness inside
You can't disguise, can't deny

[Chorus]
(You've changed)
I miss the conversation
Miss the stimulation
Miss communicating
(You've changed)
I miss the lovey-dovey
Feel it when you hug me
Know you still love me
So don't change(Don't change)

Used to go everywhere
Where there was one there was always the other
Now you're out all night
Act like we ain't even together
Use to call every hour on the hour
Didn't need no excuse
If you wanna get it right, keep it tight
Make it all right, baby
Please don't change

[Chorus]
(You've changed)
I miss the conversation
Miss the stimulation
Miss communicating
(You've changed)
I miss the lovey-dovey
Feel it when you hug me




Know you still love me
So don't change

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kimberley Locke's song You've Changed describe a relationship that has lost its passion and intimacy. The singer reminisces about how the relationship used to be full of lovey-dovey gestures like sending roses to her job, making love for hours and taking long hot showers, and going everywhere together. However, the relationship took a turn for the worse and now they hardly speak, don't communicate well, and have lost their emotional connection. The singer pleads with her partner not to change and to keep the love they once had alive.


The song serves as a reminder that relationships take effort and need to be maintained to thrive. The lyrics show the importance of communication, intimacy, and emotional connection in a relationship. The chorus, which repeats "you've changed," can be interpreted in two ways - either the singer is accusing her partner of changing or pleading with them not to change. This duality adds depth to the song and shows the complexity of relationships.
