The Only Thing That Changed

[Verse 1]
I ran into Bobby Taylor
First day of junior high
He asked if I'd seen Emily
He said, "Man, you're gonna die"
That skinny girl with freckles
Braces on her teeth
Ain't the girl she used to be

[Verse 2]
I hadn't seen or heard from Emily
Since school got out that June
And I never gave a second thought
'Bout how a flower blooms
'Til that morning she walked into class
Wearing makeup and perfume
And the only thing that changed
Was everything

[Chorus]
It was starting to make a little sense to me
Those silly love songs about the birds and the bees
Dancing and kissing and butterflies
Thе treasure at the еnd of those rainbow skies
This whole world still turns the same
The only thing that changed
Was everything

[Verse 3]
Halfway through eleventh grade
I fell for Kathy Smith
She sat by me in English
And taught me how to French
And in the backseat of my brother's car
We went all the way
And the only thing that changed
Was everything

[Chorus]
And it was starting to make a lot of sense to me
Those silly love songs about the birds and the bees
Dancing and kissing and butterflies
The treasure at the end of those rainbow skies
This whole world still turns the same
The only thing that changed
Was everything

[Bridge]
I look back on those good old days (Those good old days)
When hearts were young and love was new
They were all just stepping stones (Just stepping stones)
Each one leading me to you

[Chorus]
Now all of a sudden, it makes sense to me
Those silly love songs about the birds and the bees
Dancing and kissing and butterflies
The power of a woman with love in her eyes
This whole world still turns the same
The only thing that's changed
Is everything

[Outro]
Everything
Everything
