Everybody Oughta Make a Change Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Change in the weather
Change in the sea
Come back baby
You'll find a change in me

[Chorus]
Everybody, they ought to change sometime
Because sooner or later
We have to go down in that lonesome ground

[Verse 2]
I changed suits
I changed shirts
I changed, baby
Just to get shed of the dirt

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I changed honey
I changed money
I changed, people
Just to keep from being funny

[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Change in the ocean
Change in the sea
Come back baby
You'll find a change in me

[Chorus]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
