"Change" lyrics - PATTY GRIFFIN

Dog comes howling up behind you
Sinks his teeth in your leg
Tells you how now things are going to be a little different
And he takes you down a peg

You make him ashamed for you
He buys you a new dress
Because you make him ashamed for you
And he'd like you to look your best

So you change, oh, oh, oh
So you change, oh, oh, oh
So you change, oh, oh, oh
And the dog bites down a little harder

Somewhere out in the wild, wild west
That silly little thing that we tossed, tossed, tossed
Somehow now we don't talk about nothing else
But that silly little thing that we lost, that we lost, that we lost

And now there's no name for you
Come to find out none of that shit was even true
But now there's no name for you
I understand that you lost that too

When you change, oh, oh, oh
When you change, oh, oh, oh
When you change, oh, oh, oh
And the dog bites down a little harder

Change
Change
Change
Change

Man said, "Woman, I'm a little tired of you"
And she said, "Don't leave me, baby, I'll do anything you want me to"
And he said, "Can't you do something about the mess around this place?"
She said, "Anything, baby, anything, I can cover my face"

You make him ashamed for you
He buys you a new dress
'Cause you make him ashamed for you
In your nakedness

So you change, oh, oh, oh
And you change, oh, oh, oh
And you change, oh, oh, oh
And you change, you change, you change, change

Change
Change
Change
Change
Change

And the dog bites down a little harder
