The Jackson 5 and Johnny - You've Changed (Original)

Song the Jackson 5 originally recorded for Steel-Town Records, for the B-side of their debut single, Big Boy, issued in the States in January 1968 (no UK release).

Re-recorded on 19th and 29th July 1969 by the Jackson 5 for their debut album, DIANA ROSS PRESENTS THE JACKSON 5, issued in December 1969 in the States and March 1970 in the UK.

Mistakenly titled ‘You’ve Changed Me’ on early American pressings of the album sleeve, as Motown confused the song with another in their extensive back catalogue.


You've Changed - lyrics

Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I remember when you was a little girl,
I say you never ever ever wore curls.
You wore nothing but an old shaggy, shaggy dress,
I say you never ever try to look your best.

Now when I look at you
All my love come running through.
You've changed and it's showing,
My love for you is growing.
You've changed and it's showing.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

You legs were little
But now they are big,
Instead of wearing a pony tail
You wear a little red wig.
Your eyes are pretty,
You got some kissable lips,
And I love the way you walk,
The way you sway your little hips!

Now when I look at you
All my love come running through.
You've changed and it's showing,
My love for you is growing, yeah.
You've changed and it's showing.
Hoo hoo
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(Your walk) Oooh, babe, I love the way you walk.
(Your talk) Oooh, oooh, the way you speak to me.
(Your look) Oooh, my heart is shook.
(Your eyes) Oooh, baby, hypnotize.

Now when I look at you
All my love come running through.
You've changed and it's showing,
My love for you is growing.
You've changed and it's showing.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
