### Lyrics

 "**Change**" by FLO delves into the complexities of a relationship tainted by infidelity and deceit. The lyrics vividly portray a scenario where the speaker, addressing the partner of an **unfaithful man**, discloses the troubling behaviors exhibited by their significant other.

In the first verse, the speaker approaches the situation with empathy, acknowledging the difficulty of addressing such matters. The choice of words like "*coming to you as a woman*" conveys a sense of sincerity, indicating the speaker's genuine intention to share important information with the listener. The verse sets the stage for a conversation about the partner's obliviousness to the man's questionable actions.

The pre-chorus intensifies the narrative by highlighting the destructive impact of the man's behavior. There's a sense of urgency and concern as the speaker warns about the potential ruin of the partner's life. The vivid imagery of the man "*creeping around*" and coming home late at night creates a palpable atmosphere of distrust and betrayal.

The chorus becomes a powerful refrain, emphasizing the inevitability of the man's refusal to change. The repetition of the word "change" serves as a poignant reminder that despite any pleas or efforts, the man remains unaltered in his ways. The emotional weight of the situation is encapsulated in the repeated assertion that he will "*never change.*"

The second verse delivers a more direct and confrontational approach. The speaker exposes the man's unfaithful actions, describing how he has been pursuing other women while the partner remains oblivious. The use of phrases like "*doing you dirty up on the down low*" paints a vivid picture of the man's deceitful behavior.

The bridge introduces a shift in tone, emphasizing the partner's worth and the need for a healthier relationship. The speaker encourages the partner to recognize their own value and consider moving on from a relationship that only brings pain. The repetition of "*He will never change*" serves as a stark and definitive statement, urging the partner to confront the reality of the situation and make a decision for their own well-being.

* Lyrics

[Verse 1: Renée & *All*]

I'm coming to you as a woman

I didn't wanna have to do this
