Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wherever you are
Well, know that I adore you
No matter how far
Well, I can go before you
And if ever you need someone
Well, not that you need helping
But if ever you want someone
Well, know that I am willing
[Chorus]
Oh, and I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Out among the danger somewhere
In a stranger's eye
[Verse 2]
Wherever you go
Well, I can always follow
I can feed this real slow
If it's a lot to swallow
And if you just wanna be alone
Well, I can wait without waiting
If you want me to let this go
Well, I am more than willing
[Chorus]
Oh, 'cause I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Out among the danger somewhere
In a stranger's eye
[Chorus]
Oh, and I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Out among the danger somewhere
In a stranger's eye
[Bridge]
I've never been with anyone
In the way I've been with you
But if your love is not for fun
Then it's doomed
'Cause water races
Water races down
The waterfalls
Water races
Water races down
The waterfall
[Outro]
And I don't want to change you
I don't want to change you
I don't want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Where there is no danger
Where love has eyes, it is not blind
