You don’t owe me anything, sugar
No, I dig you just the way you are (Oh yeah!)
You still got my heart whether you’re near or far
Sometimes I stare a little too hard (I see you, girl…)
BecauseI know that love will tear us apart (ALWAYS!)

It’s your soul, baby, lightin’ up my sky (Set it off, now!)
You’re wild and you’re free, and I won’t ask why
I don’t want you to sink, not mine to try
But damn you know I want you by my side (Mmm, every night!)

Don’t change, don’t change, girl (No, no!)
Keep that passion in your soul (You FEEL it!)
Don’t change, don’t change, girl
Rock and roll’s gotta roll (Let it roll, let it roll!)
I ain’t tryin’ to tame you, babe (I love you wild!)
You’re a storm I’d never trade (No way!)
Just think of me when the freezing winds blow
And I’ll come runnin’ through the cold winter snow (OHHH YEAHHH!)

You know I’d be there if I could (I’d be there, babe!)
By your side when the mood feels good
Every now and then, babe, when you need a grin
I’ll be the wild card, in it to win (I’m your ace, baby!)
Just don’t change who you’ve always been

I know I take too much for granted (I’m only human, girl…)
Like you’ll always be standin’ there
But you’re a beauty, attraction like a magnet
And girl, it’s rare—so damn rare (One of a kind, honey!)
To find someone who actually cares

What the world thinks, how the game gets played (They can’t hold you down!)
You dance in your denim, never ask to be saved (No chains on you!)
So if you ever feel the dark start to cave
Call me, baby—I’ll ride that wave (I GOT YOU!)

Don’t change, don’t change, girl (Sing it with me now!)
Stay hot in your wicked way (You stay hot, girl!)
Don’t change, don’t change, girl
Let the world fade to gray (Let ’em fade, babe!)
I’m not here to mold or mend (Ain’t no fixer here!)
I just wanna be your friend
And your lover when the timing’s right
Burnin’ loud in the dead of night (WHOA YEAHHHH!)
(Guitar solo)

Don’t you dare tone it down, no, no! (Let it roar!)
Keep that rebel yell, girl, let it go! (You a QUEEN, baby!)
I’ll be the backbeat in your show (Right there behind ya!)
Just don’t lose that soul I know! (NEVER CHANGE!)

Ooh yeah, don’t change, girl (Don’t you go changin’ on me now!)
Still dreamin’ of your name
(Don’t change, don’t change, girl) (One more time now!)
We’re both crazy, baby, same strange
(Don’t change, don’t change, girl)
If you ever want me near
You just whisper, I’ll appear
(Don’t change, don’t change, girl)
Stay wild, stay weird, stay you (I LOVE YOU JUST LIKE THAT!)
’Cause I love that view (GOOD NIGHT, Chicago!)
