When I was very young my mother often said
I was a bashful kid my face was always red
I was afraid of girls but now you see
Lordy, Lord, there's been a change in me.
Then at the age of twelve I went to my first dance
We played some kissin' games and then I got the chance
To learn about how nice a kiss could be
You know there was a change in me.
I started to notice in the little girl next door
I walked her home from school I never did before
I even carved her name upon a tree
Oh boy, there was a change in me.
I took to slicking up my hair with lots of goo
And I would shine my shoes and look in mirrors too
Until my mother said why son it's true, ain't it
There's been a change in you.
As the years went by I sure did get around
Why I was number one with all the girls in town
I had a different date most every night (whistle)
There was a change alright.
But now I've met a gal who stole my heart away
I'm gonna marry her and settle down someday
And if I'm true to her then I'll agree, ha, ha,
There's been a change in me.
