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
