Some Things Just Don't Change Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes

(S. Van Zandt)

After the wind dried my eyes
Baby, I knew I'd have to make it without you
I was up all night telling myself lies that I didn't need you
Oh you know I need you baby

Blinded by pride I sent you away
Spend all my time just thinking about you
And all the words that I'd like to say
Stayed inside me, wish you were here beside me

All that fills my life is emptiness and trouble
How could I be so wrong?
Just as long as the sun rises in the morning
Long as the stars shine at night
Just as long as the river's flowin'
My love's gonna keep on growing
Babe, it's all the same
Some things just don't change

Got home today and I got your letter
Cried all night long
Thought by this time I'd be feeling better
Come on home, I've been so lonely
Through my tears I see your face
How could I be so wrong?

Just as long as the sun rises in the morning
Long as the stars shine at night
Just as long as the river's flowin'
My love's gonna keep on growing
Some things just don't change

They just don't change, baby
And I'm gonna love you
Long as the sun rises
Long as the stars shine at night
And always, and always
I'm gonna keep on lovin' you, baby
I can't help myself
No matter where you go
You're still my baby
No matter where you are
You're still my little girl
Always
Come on home
come on home
The door is always open
