Standing on the crossroads, world spinning round and round
Know which way I'm going, you can't bring me down
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm inI don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change meTell me I'm a sinner, I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
You telling all the people the original sin
He says, he knows you better than you'll ever know himI don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change meYou know it ain't easy
You know it ain't fair
So don't try to please me
Because I really don't careDon't tell me stories 'cause yesterday's glories
Have gone away, so far away
I've heard it said there's a light up ahead
Lord I hope and pray, I'm here to stayTell me I'm a sinner, I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm inI don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change meI don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change me
