There's Been a Change in Me

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 noticin' 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 of 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
Eddy, 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
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 through to her then I'll agree
There's been a change in me
