No stoppin' at the red light girl
'Cause I wanna get your signal
No goin' at the green light girl
'Cause I wanna be with you now

You are my special
You are my special
You are my midnight, midnight, yeah

So sweet
So fine
So nice
Oh my
My, my
My, my

No stoppin' on the highway girl
'Cause I wanna burn my gas
There's one girl that I know
I'm never gonna pass

She is my special
She is my special
She is my midnight, midnight, yeah

So sweet
So fine
So nice
Oh my
My, my
My, my

So sweet
So fine
So nice
Oh my
My my
My my
Oh sugar

I was born sa pamamagitan ng the river in a little tent
And just like the river baby I've been running ever since

It's been a long, a long time coming
And I know a change is gonna come

It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there baby beyond the sky

It's been a long, a long time coming
And I know a change is gonna come

Then I go down to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up knockin' me back down
On my knees

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, a long time coming
And I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been a long, a long time coming
And I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Well, it's been a long, a long time coming
And I know a change is gonna come, change
I know it, I know it, I know, I know, I know
A change is gonna come
