A Change Would Do You Good Lyrics

Cover art for A Change Would Do You Good lyrics by Sheryl Crow

Sound like this girl has been with a rock star for 10 years, remembering when she met him--that he appeared, or actually was, rich, but in the end was not sincere, a bottom feeder, low rent. And as most rock stars do, they end up with fashion models. She was a looker, young, pretty, daddy's jewel.

He's gotten older. And, all the while she thought he was singing his heart out to her, but he was lip syncing, i.e., lying. Years later she now sees him for what he truly is--a jerk--and she wants out, a change. He wants to have dinner and she thinks, 'sure--wear your cement shoes'so she can drop him in the river where he sinks to the bottom. Or if he calls, leave a message, she won't be around to hear it or either don't call anymore; leave her alone. She's telling him a change will do him good, but in essence, the change is good for her.
