Story Behind The Song
This song was inspired by a situation with someone at the day gig. It's a pretty universal problem that runs rampant with a lot of young, single moms and the guys who turn out to be the daddy of their baby, but not necessarily the right man for them.

Lyrics
King / Queen
I?ll Change.... he says
Jenny?s got a boyfriend, he comes from the city
Got rings on his fingers, he drives all night
To get to the place where she might be disrespecting
His status as King, can you feel his might
She comes from the country and they got a baby
A good looking mama, time on her side
Prancing through the foothills, dancing in her dreams
She don?t want to wake up and be the Queen
What makes you love him
What makes you get up off the ground
Just to get hit again and again
What makes you want him
What makes you lay your body down
To the point where you lose control
And he owns your very soul
Dinner in the oven, toys in the hall
An innocent soldier, heir to the throne
Voices from the cellar, rumble through the wall
The constant ring of the telephone
A sweet smelling fortress under lock and key
Palace of confinement, security
Her mama and her papa bring her back home
She questions her own dignity
I?ll change... he says
