Lyrics
My baby done changed,
Yes, she done changed the lock on the door,
Yes, she done changed,
Yes, she done changed the lock on the door.
Well, she said, “That key you got, Sonny,
It won’t fit that lock no more.”

I went home last night about half past ten,
I tried to get the key in the lock and I couldn’t get it in
‘Cause she done changed,
Yes, she done changed the lock on the door.
Well, she said, “That key you got, Sonny,
It won’t fit that lock no more.”

You know, I didn’t see what she said, you know.
I walked round to her window to see what can I see,
I walked round to her window to see what I could see,
She was kissing my best friend and I know it wasn’t me
‘Cause she done changed,
Yes, she done changed the lock on the door,
Well, she said, “That key you got, Sonny,
It won’t fit that lock no more.”

I called my baby up,
“Honey, what you want me to bring?”
You know, she whispered low and evil,
“Don’t bring a doggone thing
‘Cause I done changed,
Yes, I done chained the lock on the door.”
Well, she said, “That key you got, Sonny,
It won’t fit that lock no more.”

She moved the bed around,
Even the carpet on the floor,
She got a young man now,
And I can’t go down no more
‘Cause she done changed,
Yes, she done changed the lock on the door.
Well, she said, “That key you got, Sonny,
It won’t fit that lock no more.”
