I Won't Change You

I'm big fan of Sophie Ellis Bextor. After singing my heart out over her old school hits such as Groovejet and Murder on the Dancefloor, I stumbled upon her 2003 single entitled I Won't Change You.

With witty, "I can relate to" lyrics, a catchy, danceable tune and a quirky, speed-dating video, this Sophie song would be one of my life anthems 'til kingdom come.

I Won't Change You

Album: Shoot from the Hip

Song info: (3:40) Lyrics and Music by Alexander, Ellis-Bextor, Rowe

 

I used to change my accent, change my stance

My phone number, the way I dance

Some people change lovers like they change their sheets

But I won't change you honey, you're for keeps

I used to think I had to change the way I am

To feel better, to get a man

But once I stopped trying I fell for you

You fell for me so I'll stay the same for you

 

(Oh yeah) I know that I'm not perfect baby

(Oh yeah) It's no reason to go crazy

(Oh yeah) Boy you can always count on me

For better or for worse, I will always put you first

 

Chorus:

Now that I have found you

You've changed my life

Cause you're the one who showed me

I have everything right

We're never gonna differ cause we know it's true

So don't change me and I won't change you

I used to change my style like I changed my mind

I tried to change a tire, but I'm not that way inclined

Tried to change my figure my diet too

I'll still change my underwear if that's OK with you

But after seeing you I know that here is best

(Oh yeah) The world can sometimes make you feel bad

(Oh yeah) But don't forget the things you have

(Oh yeah) Boy you can always count on me

In sickness and in health baby always be yourself
