Gm
You and I were finished,
         F
I was through with you.
Cm7
Splitting up forever
           Gm
Seemed the thing to do.
I said, I can’t stand you
           F
With your honey touch,
Cm7
This time you were cheating me,
    Gm
One time too much.

   Gm
   Just then I remembered,
            F
   That a friend I knew
   D#
   Told me one thing,
                  D7
   I should never do.

Chorus:
            Gm
     Never, never
     Change your lovers
             C
     In the middle of the night,
           Cm                D7
     Everything may look so different
            Gm
     In the early morning light.
     Never, never be too hasty
                   C
     When you’re groping in the dark.
                  Cm           D7
     What you’re getting into may be
             Gm    D7
     Just a lark.

               Gm
     Keep your cool
     And don’t change lovers
                  C
     When you’re feeling sorta high,
           Cm               D7
     Sorta big and high and mighty
             Gm
     Without really knowing why.
     Let the heat wear off a little,
                C
     Give your man another chance
                Cm              D7
     And don’t fall for someone else’s
               Gm   C D
     Song and dance.

Gm
Sure, there was this guy
       F
Right next to me,
Cm7
Mine just for the asking,
        Gm
He said he would be.
But to leave my man
           F
Seemed to me all too strange,
    Cm7
And I’d say that I’m glad,
         Gm
I didn’t make the change.

   Gm
   Now our life is almost
           F
   Like a Paradise,
   D#
   Let me pass on to you
          D7
   This advice.

Chorus:
               Gm
     Keep your cool
     And don’t change lovers
             C
     In the middle of the night,
             Cm                D7
     You may feel a strong temptation,
           Gm
     The vibrations may be right.
     But who knows what’s gonna happen,
              C
     You may simply lose your cool
              Cm                   D7
     When you find it, you’ll find out
                Gm    D7
     You were a fool.

            Gm
     Never, never
     Change your lovers
           C
     Under any midnight spell.
             Cm             D7
     Take it easy, slow and easy,
          Gm
     Everything will turn out well.
     Let the sunshine of a new day,
               C
     And don’t move while you’re uptight
               Cm            D7
     Changing lovers in the middle
             Gm  C D
     Of the night.

            Gm
     Never, never
     Change your lovers
             C
     In the middle of the night,
           Cm                D7
     Everything may look so different
            Gm
     In the early morning light.
     Never, never be too hasty
                   C
     When you’re groping in the dark.
                  Cm           D7
     What you’re getting into may be
             Gm  D7
     Just a lark.

               Gm

     And don’t change lovers
