The Change
-The Change-
There's talk on the street
Somethings happened to me
I don't look the same
As I used to be
I've got the same name
I've got the same face
But something about me
Has definitely changed
They try to figure it out
There's something about
On the tip of their tongue
There is no doubt
As they scratch their heads
Wondering just what it is
Either something has come
Or something has left
As they wonder what's up
It's starting to bug
They can't take anymore
They've had enough
I just sit here and smile
As they try and figure it out
It's as plain as the day
Let them squirm for awhile
Cause what it is that I've changed
Are my eyebrows I shaved
I now change my expression
With mascara paint
I can now look surprised
As my eyebrows I rise
3 to 4 inches
Above my eyes
Or I can bring them down
Into a uni-brow
Make me look angry
Give me a scowl
I lower the other
While lifting it's brother
Which raises a question
One way or another
There's so much you can do
When your eyebrows you lose
If your afraid to participate
Start off with one and not two
But I must warn you
That if you do
There's only one expression you'll have
And that is one of confused
So as they keep on guessing
With insistent insisting
I keep doing my best
To change my expression
