On November 30th, 2024, YouTube user Max Many Mix (known for solving a lot of Kenny's lost songs) identified the song as "Someone's Changing" by Europeans, presumably after finding it on a WFMU playlist.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Someone's changing
Changing you
Someone that you never were
It's beginning to show
See it in your dress
I see it in the way you move
The way you handle people
The way your body talks to you
[Chorus]
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Someone's working hard
Trying to impress
Somebody that isn't me
Be treated to this
I feel it all around
It's painful and it's hurting still
You're heading for a fall
I wonder if you ever will
[Chorus]
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
[Post-chorus]
Woah-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
[Pre-chorus]
Someone's changing
Changing you
[Chorus]
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
