(P. Tucker/T. Baiyewu/T. Laws)

You know there's always something

Really worth the wait

I wouldn't switch for nothing

There's nothing worth the change

People always try to take you for a ride

It ain't no big surprise

Ain't no cause to cry

You know that you'll get by

If you are strong in your own mind

You don't have to change the way you are

I really don't think you're giving yourself a chance

I wish you could hear someone who says

Baby, don't change, baby don't change

Do your own thing, you're beautiful the way you are

In your search for something

You didn't have to chase

You sacrified the best things

And nearly lost your way

People always try to take you for a ride

Ain't no big surprise

Ain't no cause to cry

You know that you'll get by

If you're strong in your own mind

You don't have to change the way you are

I really don't think you're giving yourself a chance

I wish you could hear someone who says

Baby, don't change, baby, don't change

Do your own thing, you're beautiful the way you are

You really don't

You don't have to change

Give yourself a chance
