I was only seventeen
When she looked at me that way
Seems like yesterday
I was only fooling 'round
But she stole my heart away
I've never been the same

I felt the strangest feeling
Like a raging fire it burned
She left me, I cried for weeks and
I can't forget her
Or the lesson that I learned

Love changes, changes everything
Love makes you fly
It can break your wings
Love changes, changes everything
Love makes the rules
From fools to kings
Love changes
Love changes everything

Then the years went rollin' by
I grew up and moved away
Had to earn my pay
Found another lover then
But my heart is sad to say
It only ended up the same way

And I wondered was I destined
To spend my life alone
Oh, girl, you answered my question
This time it's working
You've given me new hope

I've seen the way love shakes ya
Makes ya, break ya
It's got a power of it's own

Love changes, changes everything
Love makes you fly
It can break your wings
Love changes, changes everything
Love makes the rules
From fools to kings
Love changes
Love changes everything
