Change Is Good
Mainstreet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My baby run away
With my heart in a suitcase
She got on a train
A one way ticket

So I'm a need a drink
Anything to release
Somebody set me free
A different kind of lovin' is what I need

Pretty girl with devil eyes
Now seems like the perfect time
Baby you can satisfy
Won't you come and change my life

Yesterday I swore the world was over
All she left me was a smoking gun
Maybe you're the perfect kind of closure
A taste of you, is something new
Baby, I'm thinking change is good

Change is good
Baby, I'm thinking change is good
Change is good
Baby, I'm thinking change is good

Numb me with your kiss
Paralyze my body
Those sweet red lips
Look better on me

And I'm glad she lives
You're another level
My medicine
Damn I swear you do it better than she can

Pretty girl with devil eyes
Now seems like the perfect time
Baby you can satisfy
Won't you come and change my life

Yesterday I swore the world was over
All she left me was a smoking gun
Maybe you're the perfect kind of closure
A taste of you, is something new
Baby, I'm thinking change is good

Change is good
Baby, I'm thinking change is good
Change is good
Baby, I'm thinking change is good

So run run away baby
I got got a new lady
Don't knock on my door begging
I'm not gonna be waiting
So run run away baby
I got got a new lady
Don't knock on my door begging
I'm not gonna be waiting
Change is good
Baby, I'm thinking change is good




Change is good
Baby, I'm thinking change is good
