Change My Ways - Anthony Strong

This is the way I am: it’s not a pose, it’s not a phase

It’s not because I took a wrong turn somewhere in the maze

I’d be OK to stay this way until the end of days

But say the word and I will change my ways

The only game I play is devil’s advocate to win

I’m only looking out for number one from here on in

And number one is not the one to go out in a blaze

But give the sign and I will change my ways

And this time I won’t tell the tale or sell my soul to seal a sale

Or leave my love to live alone no more

Or jump ship in the panic like a rat on the Titanic

When we turn the stern and raise the sail for shore

I’ll keep the candle burning learning how to earn your praise

You’ll even see me ready for a steady job that pays

I speak the language but I can’t stop talking in clichés

Take me back and I will change my ways

Oh take me back and I will change my ways!

And this time I won’t tell the tale or sell my soul to seal a sale

Or leave my love to live alone no more

Or jump ship in the panic like a rat on the Titanic

When we turn the stern and raise the sail for shore

I’ll keep the candle burning learning how to earn your praise

You’ll even see me ready for a steady job that pays

I speak the language but I can’t stop talking in clichés

Take me back and I will change my ways

Oh, I wouldn’t do this for anybody else but you

Now ain’t it strange

Take me back and I will change my ways
