    Lyrics »

It's gonna be another hard night
You wanna take it all alone
You wanna face up to the trouble
You wanna face up to your soul

And baby you can have it
anyway you want it
You just get a little lost from time to time
Sometimes it gets a little crazy
somewhere down inside

Chorus
But you can still change your mind
You can change your feelings

Everybody wants all the world can give 'em
Everybody wants to get all they can get
Everybody's waiting on somethin' that hasn't come yet
And you can hide it for a little while honey
You can try and just lose it for a while
Then its gonna do something to ya somewhere down inside

Repeat 1st chorus

Oh and it gets harder by the minute girl
Oh it gets harder every day
Listen to me darlin', on you don't have to wait

Chorus
It's alright, you can still change your mind
Just hold tight, everything's gonna be alright
If you can change your mind
You can change your feeling

CommentsRecorded at Sound City, Van Nuys, CA and Cherokee Studios, Hollywood, CA. Mixed at Cherokee Studios, Hollywood, CA. Additional recording at Goodnight, L.A. (MCA Records) Stevie Nicks appears courtesy of Modern Records. "I love that," Benmont says. "That's one of Michael's tracks that he brought in and showed everybody how it went. He made me play the keyboards which I thought that he should do - partly out of laziness and partly because of his feel and his chords. It's a real heavy Beach Boys number. I think we had Phil Jones playing what may have been a bongo. Phil and Stan together made up the 'Caroline No' type rhythm that's being played. We cut it pretty much live and then overdubbed a few things, slowed the tape down, sped the piano up to do a few little flash things toward the end that you can barely hear, then got Stevie and Sharon in to sing on the back of it. I love that song, I think it's absolutely beautiful." "That's sort of Mike's tribute to Brian Wilson," Tom adds. "I loved it and worked really hard on that track. No one could hear it as a single. People had a mental picture of what we should sound like and if you played them something that didn't sound like 'Refugee' or 'American Girl' or 'Even the Losers', they were puzzled. I still go through that."
