Change Partners/If You Never Come to Me
[Part I: If You Never Come to Me]
[Verse]
There's no use for a moonlight glow
Or the peaks where winter snows
What's the use of the waves that will break
In the cool of the evening?
What is the evening without you?
It's nothing
[Part II: Change Partners]
[Verse 1]
Must you dance every dance
With that same fortunate man?
You have danced with him since the music began
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
[Verse 2]
Must you dance quite so close
With your lips touching his face?
Can't you see I'm longing to be in his place?
Won't you change partnеrs and dance with me?
[Bridge]
Ask him to sit this one out and whilе you're alone
I'll tell the waiter to tell him he's wanted on the telephone
[Verse 3]
You've been locked in his arms
Ever since heaven-knows-when
Won't you change partners? And then
You may never want to change
[Part III: If You Never Come to Me]
[Verse 1]
Oh, there's no use for a moonlight glow
Or the peaks where winter snows
What's the use of the waves that will break
In the cool of the evening?
What is the evening without you?
It's nothing
[Verse 2]
I can see you may never come
But if you never come to me
What's the use of my wonderful dreams?
And why would they need me?
Where would they lead me without you?
To nowhere
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
What's the use of my wonderful dreams?
And why would they need me?
Where would they lead me without you?
To nowhere
Just nowhere
[Part IV: Change Partners]
[Verse]
So won't you change partners? And then
You may never want to change
You may never want to change
You may never want to change
