Only the Names Have Been Changed

Only the names have been changed

Inside the motel Sue walks to the desk

Signs her name as Mrs Jim Slater

She asks for a suite, she wants only the best

Her husband will be along later

Bill sits in his office and picks up the phone

Barb's waiting to lock up the door

"I'll be late," he says, "Don't wait up alone"

Kate's heard his excuses before

Only the names have been changed

To protect the guilty

The guilty and sometimes ashamed

The stories, the people are real

Only the names have been changed

Michael's a singer, he travels the world

He's married but still so alone

Jane left the group a confused little girl

She'll sing by herself from now on

Only the names have been changed

To protect the guilty

The guilty and sometimes ashamed

The stories, the people are real

Only the names have been changed

Only the names have been changed
