You’re still playing that time-worn melody
Play it now for old time’s sake once more
When you want me, you won’t be usin’ me
Like you’ve done a thousand times before
‘Cause I found out now
You never change
Ain’t no use in foolin’ myself
You never change at all

You’re still sayin’
That you’re misunderstood
Won’t go fallin’ this time, that’s for sure
All your methods won’t do you any good
They’ve all been tried a thousand times before

‘Cause I found out now
You never change
Ain’t no use in foolin’ myself
You never change at all

It ain’t no use, you’ll never change
Stop your runnin’ around…
