Sometimes you want your money back, then some
Sometimes you wonder if these things have ever been done
Sometimes you get a little bit too high, see?
That love ain't free

I'll say it louder, so the back can hear
It ain't about money, so have no fear
"But it takes a little change, and change is good"
That's what mama said, 'cause she understood

A man is just a man, but a woman's a queen
Now I finally understand what she needs
It's real simple, if your woman is good
The sky is the limit, but what you could be

Two quarters, a dime, and a silver dollar
Make me wanna call her
Make me wanna follow her to the end of the line
Make her mine
Two quarters, a dime, and a silver dollar
Ch-ch-change my mind

Sometimes girls just wanna have fun
Sometimes the honey might get you stung
Sometimes you get a little bit too low to know
Where love can go

I'll sing it louder, so the back can dance
It ain't about money, so there's still a chance
"But it takes a little change, and change is good"
That's what mama said, 'cause she understood

Two quarters, a dime, and a silver dollar
Make me wanna call her
Make me wanna follow her to the end of the line
Make her mine
Two quarters, a dime, and a silver dollar
Ch-ch-change my mind

Ooh, ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Hallelujah, since I knew ya'
Everything is coming up, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
A little change'll do ya' good
Ooh, ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Hallelujah, since I knew ya'
Everything is coming up, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
A little change'll do ya' good

Two quarters, a dime, and a silver dollar
Make me wanna call her
Make me wanna follow her to the end of the line
Make her mine
Two quarters, a dime, and a silver dollar
Ch-ch-change my mind

Ooh, ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Hallelujah, since I knew ya'
Everything is coming up, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
A little change'll do ya' good
Ooh, ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Hallelujah, since I knew ya'
Everything is coming up, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
A little change'll do ya' good

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
