I Can Change Lyrics


Hmm
Hey yo, nephew, check this out man
Now I know you got that bad chick right there
You ain't even tripping off of her
But she doing all of that for you
She got this, she got that
She’s off the hizzle
I mean when you find one like that
You got to make that change man
'Coz they don’t come too often
And when they do come
You gotta be smart enough to know when to change
Like Sam Cooke say, "Change gon’ come", nephew
And you better believe that
As I look back on all that I've done to you
My biggest regrets, the things that I never could do
I see the light now baby it's shining through
Gotta give up the game, yeah, I got some changin’ to do

I won’t get high if you want it
Get that straight, 9 to 5 if you want it
Keep my ass home at night if you want it
Whatever you need me to do
When you talk I’ma listen
Give you all that attention you missing
Girl, I swear, I’ma handle my business
Just like a real man should do
I can change
I can change
I can change for you
I can change
I can change
I can change for you
Hmm yeah
Hmm
I, I’ll give up all the places I used to go
Stay out the club, stay home because I’m with you, yeah yeah
I’ll give up all those girls that I used to know
They don’t compare, baby, I swear it’s the truth
So I’m through with the women
Yeah, that’s right, I give up on the pimpin’
Girl I’m gonna repent from my sinnin’
If that’s what you want me to do
I’ll get right if you want it
Go to church, get baptized if you want it
Girl, you opened my eyes and I’m gonna
Be much better for you
Baby believe me
Baby believe me
I can change
I can change
I can change for you
I can change
I can change
I can change for you
Uh uh, take me to the river and baptize my soul
I’m so outta control, needing someone to hold
Man it’s cold, I ain't been clubbin’, drinkin’ or smokin’
I’m focused, bowin’ down every night prayin’ and hopin’
I’m trying to figure out a way
But I just don’t know how to say
But I’m rearrangin’, hopefully I’m changin’
And you can see that
Baby, 'coz it’s hard for me
Kinda sorta odd for me
But ain't nothing to it, if you need me to do it
I guess
I can change
I can change
I can change for you
I can change
I can change
I can change for you
I can change
I can change
I can change for you
I can change
I can change
I can change for you
You know I can stop baby
Gotta believe me
Gotta believe me
I telling the truth
You know I can stop baby, yeah
Gotta believe me
Gotta believe me
I’m telling the truth
Get baptized if you want it
This time I mean it
Gotta believe me
Gotta believe me
I'm telling the truth
Gotta believe me
Gotta believe me
I'm telling the truth

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
John Stephens (born December 28, 1978 in Springfield, Ohio), better known as John Legend, is a Grammy award winning R&B singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, poet and actor signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label. Prior to the release of his debut album Get Lifted in 2004, Legend's career gained momentum through a series of successful collaborations with multiple established artists such as Jay-Z, Alicia Keys and Lauryn Hill. He released his second album, Once Again in 2006, and his latest release, 2008's Evolver showcased a more experimental and upbeat side of Legend. He is the recipient of six Grammy Awards, and in 2007 he received the special Starlight award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Legend also played the piano on Lauryn Hill's 1998 song "Everything is Everything" and sang background vocals on Jay-Z's "Encore" and Alicia Keys' "You Don't Know My Name". Legend frequently cites gospel, R&B, and hip hop music as his main musical influences.

Legend released his critically acclaimed and Billboard Top Ten second album, Once Again, in October 2006. Produced by Raphael Saadiq, Kanye West and will.i.am, it is again a mixture of gospel and classic soul showcasing his extraordinary voice, particularly on "Show Me".

*2005 Best New Artist

*2005 Best R&B Album- Get Lifted
*2007 Best Male R&B Vocal Performance: Heaven

Neo-soul singer and pianist John Legend combined the raw fervor of contemporaries Cody ChesnuTT and the burning precision of D'Angelo. Born John Stephens, Legend was a child prodigy who grew up in Ohio, where he began singing gospel and playing piano at the tender age of five. Legend left Ohio at 16 to attend college in Philadelphia, and it was there that he first found a larger audience. Not yet out of his teens, Legend was tapped to play piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything" in 1998. After completing college, he moved to New York, where he began to build a loyal following playing in nightclubs and releasing CDs that he would sell at shows. He also became an in-demand session musician, playing and occasionally writing for a wide array of artists, including Alicia Keys, Twista, Janet Jackson, and Kanye West. It wasn't until West signed the young talent to his new label that he adopted the Legend name with 2004's Solo Sessions Vol. 1: Live at the Knitting Factory. Get Lifted, his first studio album, was released later in the year. On the strength of enduring single "Ordinary People," the album reached the Top Five of the Billboard 200. This led to three Grammy Awards: Best R&B Album, Best R&B Male Vocal Performance, and Best New Artist. Once Again, which peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and number one on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, followed in October 2006. Live from Philadelphia, sold exclusively at Target stores, was a successful stopgap release that predated October 2008's Evolver.
