"Only The Names Have Been Changed" lyrics

Only The Names Have Been Changed

Only the names have been changed

Inside the motel
Sue walk 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
