Change
I know a whole lot about nothin'
and a little bit of ever-thing
I thought I could learn about something
to help me make a change
but ever-time I try to do something
things still turned out the same
I know a whole lot about nothin'
and a little bit of ever-thing
My girl she always told me
you gonna have to make a change
She said I was gonna go nowhere
being stuck in the same old place
So I gave up all of the old things
I thought stood in our way
but that didn't even matter
'cause she left me anyway
I know a whole lot about nothin'
and a little bit of ever-thing
I thought I could learn about something
to help me make a change
but ever-time I try to do something
things still turned out the same
I know a whole lot about nothin'
and a little bit of ever-thing
Now I've learned a little something
that might help you along your way
Don't try to make somebody happy
if they only want you to change
'cause when you go and do something
in somebody else's name
You'll learn it's best to just be you
'cause you really didn't need to change
I know a whole lot about nothin'
and a little bit of ever-thing
I thought I could learn about something
to help me make a change
but ever-time I try to do something
things still turned out the same
I know a whole lot about nothin'
and a little bit of ever-thing
I wanted to be everything
that my parents wanted me to be.
Then, in the second half, I realized I just wanted to be me.
I tried to become what others wanted me to be to please them,
but then I realized not everyone wanted to be pleased by me.
So, now finally, I've learned the hard way - I just need to be me.
No matter how many times I have changed,
the person whom I have become is just going to be ME.
