Things Are Changing - Diana Ross, The Supremes

Girls, have you got the kind of man everyone looks up to?

Well, if you don’t, listen, I’ll tell you what to do

Get your man, take him by the hand and bring him here to me

And I’m going to tell you about equal opportunity

There was a time when the world was fickle

And it may have been hard to succeed

But times have changed now

And school and training is all you really need

It doesn’t matter who you may be

Everyone’s equal with the same opportunity

Yes, things are changing for the better

Things are changing for the better

Now is the time for you to better yourself

Life’s got problems but you can make it

And I’m going to tell you why

Just like the early bird that catches the worm

You gotta get up, go out and try

Your race or color won’t stand in your way

Don’t wait for tomorrow, today is your day

Yes, things are changing for the better

Things are changing for the better

Now is the time for you to better yourself

Good jobs are out there

(Things are changing)

Just waiting to be found

(Things are changing)

They don’t come to you, oh, no

You gotta go up and look around

(Things are changing)

Your race or color won’t stand in your way

Don’t wait for tomorrow, today is your day

Things are changing for the better

Things are changing for the better

Now is the time for you to better yourself

I said, things are changing for the better

Things are changing for the better

Things are changing for the better

Things are changing for the better

Things are changing for the better

Things are changing for the better
