You've Changed
Marty Gold and His Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've an awful feeling that
This thought that's been a-stealing
Through my brain
Is not to be ignored

But to really tell the truth
Though I'm not a well known sleuth
I honestly believe

That you are bored

You've changed
That sparkle in your eye is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed

You've changed
You're kisses now are so blase
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed

You've forgotten the words 'I love you'
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize you've ever cared

You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through

It's all over now
You've changed

I've an awful feeling that
I have a terrible feeling that

This thought that's been a-stealing
This idea that keeps creeping up

Through my brain
In my mind

Is not to be ignored
Can't be disregarded

But to really tell the truth
Honestly, to be truthful

Though I'm not a well known sleuth
Even though I'm no detective

I honestly believe
I truly think

That you are bored
You are uninterested
