He knocked and who am I not to answer.


Don’t invite me to clubs,

Don’t ask me to dance,

I’m trying to change, I’m trying to change,

So please give me a chance.


Don’t call me rude,

If your hand I won’t shake,

I’m trying to change, I’m trying to change,

So please don't call me fake.


I might decline, if there’s gonna be wine,

Go ahead, I really don't drink,

I’m trying to change, I’m trying to change,

Sorry if spoil sport is what you think.


I don’t roll like that anymore,

Like old times, it’s just not gonna be,

I’m trying to change, I’m trying to change,

So please don’t think less of me.


Excuse me when I have to answer,

Five times a day to a call that’s greater,

I’m trying to change, I’m trying to change,

Everything else just has to come later.


I’ll do things different now,

I may not be fun or loud,

I’m trying to change, I’m trying to change,

So at least, for me, be proud.


I’m still your friend,

I’ll be there when you call,

I’m trying to change, I’m trying to change,

But alone I can’t do it all.


I demand nothing from you,

Except understanding and respect,

I’m trying to change, I’m trying to change,

For my faith and religion, what do you expect?


If I may lapse,

Please set me aright,

I’m trying to change, I’m trying to change,

But I’m still human alright!


Yours truly.
