When I'm gone I was a young troubador When I wrote in on a song And I'll be an old troubador Sometimes I feel like Jesse James Still trying to make a name Knowing nothing's gonna change I still feel 25

Do I have to change my name This type of modern life Am I gonna be a star Will it get me far Should I lose some weight And you know I'm satisfied I tried to be a boy Is it for me Is it for free

I know it's hard now for you to see You can't change how it was or how it's gonna be I'm what she wants, you're just what she needs And yet she still loves me, she still loves me Where is her sweater? It’s not in her car Is not at her friend’s house,

I'm asking him to change his ways If you want to make the world a better place I'm starting with the man in the mirror And no message could have been any clearer (Man in the mirror) You know it! I'm gonna make a change Take a look at yourself, and then

Whoa whoa whoa People gonna say what they say But we don’t care about that anyway Haters gonna hate Don’t you ever change Only thing that matters That you need to know You’ll only find it in your heart and soul We don’t care what they say

You're too good for me, but I want, but I And I know that I don't fit in, but I want, but I want you anyway Only you, only me, and that is all that I need Only you, only me, only you And turn it down for you But I'm never gonna change And that's why I be

And there ain't, no No one can change it No one can do it better than yourself I'm like, oh I hope you know you're not alone in that hell Oh, oh I hope you know you're not alone in that hell I got the letter back Saying I can come and see you I really

I can't stop lovin' you You know my heart is true, oh There's a time and place for everything For everyone We can push with all our might But nothin's gonna come Oh no, nothin's gonna change And if I asked you not to try Oh, could you let it be

Ain't it funny how life changes You never know what's gonna happen And I wouldn't change it for the world, the world, oh no You wake up ain't nothing the same and life changes You make your plans and you god laughing Life changes (yes it does) and I

See, ever since the day I got the chance to make a change I've been in this game, it's a new day And I'm making it known cause I just want the world to know I'm paying my dues, and I got the utmost, I just wanna let you know I'm payin' homage 'cause
