Changin' Times
Nazareth Lyrics

When I was younger I used to understand
When I was younger, I thought I had a good understanding about girls and how to act appropriately around them.

That when you're with a girl, you gotta act like a man
I was taught that when you're with a girl, you need to act like a responsible adult and behave accordingly.

Mama told me that's the way it should be
My mother told me that that was the correct way to behave.

And I know my mama never lied to me.
I have no reason to doubt my mother, as she always told me the truth.

What do you think about you're changin' times
What do you think about the changes that are happening in our relationship?

Cause when I'm with you I just can't make up my mind
Whenever I am with you, I find it hard to make decisions.

Since I met you don't know right from wrong
I have lost my sense of judgment ever since you came into my life.

Somebody tell me just what's goin' on
Could someone please explain what's happening to me?

Just can't get myself thinking straight
I am unable to think clearly.

I'm all shook up and in a terrible state
I feel extremely anxious and unstable.

Sometimes I think I got it all figured out
I believe I understand everything, from time to time.

Then you do something new and it just knocks me right out
But when you do something unexpected, it always leaves me confused.

Someday baby I'm going to have to make a stand
At some point, I must take responsibility for my actions.

The way that you treat me baby
The way you treat me is not making me feel like a responsible adult.

Don't make me feel too much like a man
In fact, it makes me feel quite the opposite of a man.

And baby, baby, the changes you're goin' through
Plus, the changes you're going through are making things even more complicated.

You're drivin' me half crazy
Frankly, you are causing me a lot of stress and anxiety.

Can't make up my mind what to do about you.
I cannot decide what action I should take regarding our relationship.

Tellin' myself that time is on my side
I am trying to convince myself that there is no hurry or pressure.

You're gettin' this feelin' that my mind's on the slide
I worry that you are sensing that I am losing my grip and becoming unstable.

Dumped on the floor, I feel I'm trapped in a spin
I feel like I am in a constant state of confusion with no way out.

Don't know how to end, can't think of where to begin
I don't know how to resolve these issues or even where to begin.

She don't care I know she don't even try
She doesn't seem to care or even bother to make an effort.

But when she turns it on
However, when she does pay attention to me, it's amazing.

You know she gets me so high.
I feel ecstatic and overjoyed in those moments.

She's a lady that's making my life a sin
Despite all the complications, I cannot help but continue to be drawn towards her.

You know that I'm runnin' in a losin' race
I realize that I am fighting a losing battle and cannot seem to win.

There ain't no way I can win
I am defeated, and there seems to be no way to change the outcome.

Baby, baby, the changes you're goin' through
Your changes are causing me a lot of confusion and stress.

They're drivin' me half crazy
I am struggling to cope with all these changes.

Can't make up my mind what to do about you.
I am at a complete loss as to what to do next in our relationship.
