CHANGE YOUR WAYSSPAN>

Lyrics

Liner Notes

What kind of love is this
Cheating on each other
What makes us so naive
Like we’d never be discovered

But the way you turn me on
I wanna look the other way
But I’m a jealous man
So if you really want to stay you’ve got to

Change your ways
Change your ways
You’ve got to change your ways
Ooh, yeah, something’s got to change

Once love gives in to lust
You know you can’t resist that feeling
What makes forbidden lace
Oh yeah, so appealing

It seems you don’t care where I’ve been
As you take it, you take it all off
Just when I think you’re in the palm of my hand
You say, you can have it all, but…

Change your ways
Change your ways
You’ve got to change your ways
Ooh, yeah, something’s got to

Change your ways
You’ve got to change your ways
Change your ways
Ooo, yeah, something’s got to change

Aww, it’s got to change
Aww, it’s got to change

BEHIND THE MUSIC:

I wrote this song in October 2021 as part of a songwriting challenge based on including the phrase 'is this cheating.' I produced a decent demo of my song back then, but knew the vocal needed to eventually be revisited and maybe a little more tweaking of the lyrics might be beneficial. The demo featured a "Fender Rhodes" synthesizer patch, but now that I own a real Fender Rhodes, I thought the time was right to dust this one off and re-record the track. Quite a few lyrics changed, but the phrase is still intact, split between the first and second line..."What kind of love is this? Cheating on each other." I updated the vocals, drums, and of course the Rhodes and added a little synth motif in the breakdown, but all of the original guitars and bass are from the demo recording. I have no idea if this song will connect with anyone since it is in a unique style that's a little hard to describe, but it has come to be a song that I really like to play on YouTube and Spotify. I hope you will consider giving it a spin and add it to one of your playlists!
