Lyrics by Joel Shaw
Written January - February 1993


Some people like to stay out all night in the clubs
Running 'round searching for someone new they can bug
But they never view me as much of a threat
I see their smiles but I still feel their pangs of regret

Most women have their own view of a man
And they won't compromise their ideal while he may still stand
I know that I don't have that much to show
I have my passion and it's more than they'll ever know

(Change)
And all I wanted was someone who would look at me, and not my clothes
But she wouldn't see and so she'll never know what I could be, I guess that's how it goes

I guess it's not as easy as I made it to be
I guess it's hard when you think about it constantly
I can't stay here living all by myself
It's not good for me or anybody else

(Second Change)
But you know you never can tell
And you know it's probably just as well

I see people taking risks almost every day
Sometimes they win sometimes they lose but still they will play
But nobody's ever taken a risk on me
Apparently I'm not that much of a victory
It's hard when they've shrouded your life in a veil
Although I've tried I know I'm destined to always fail
'Cause nobody views me as much of a feat
They've stripped my pride but I still have my dignity
