Lie in bed, I'm tossing
I'm wide awake till morning
Worried that I'm losing
The things that are important
You said: " I hope you don't change
Cause I like you just the way you are "
And now I'm trying so hard (so hard)
To let you know that, oh

Day after day, I continue to be
The same old girl that I've always been
(That I've always been)

Change is gonna come, I know it, we know it
But I promise not to change, promise that I'll stay the same
Change is gonna come, I know it, we know it
But you better believe I'm still the girl next door

Uh, spending time in LA (LA)
While my watch is still on Eastern time
Cause no matter where I go, how far, I know, I know, I know, I know
All my homies home a hold me down
And boy, get your dusty foot off my couch
Get that blunt outta your mouth
Before you get run outta my house (bounce, bounce, bounce)
We been rocking since the basement
Since we worked minimum wages, fool
Pass me the remote, ain't nothin' changing but the station, fool

Day after day, I continue to be
The same old girl that I've always been

Change is gonna come, I know it, we know it
But I promise not to change, promise that I'll stay the same
Change is gonna come, I know it, we know it
But you better believe I'm still the girl next door

Change is gonna come
But you better believe I'm still the girl next door
Change is gonna come
But you better believe I'm still the girl next door

And I hope you know I'm always right here when you wanna come knockin'
If you wanna come knockin'

Change is gonna come, I know it, we know it
But I promise not to change, promise that I'll stay the same
Change is gonna come, I know it, we know it
But you better believe I'm still the girl next door

Change is gonna come
But you better believe I'm still the girl next door
Change is gonna come
But you better believe I'm still the girl next door
