[First part spoken]
[Horn honks] Tom Nixon: Hey, Glenn, come on man, let's go, we're late!
Glenn: Naw, I ain't going.
Tom: What's up? You didn't go out last week!
Glenn: Well, you see, I'm livin' for my baby.
Tom: What's this stuff about livin' for your baby?
Glenn: I've been born again.
Tom: Man, you're crazy.
Glenn: I've been born again.

I've been born again
I'm a brand new man (kind of brand new)
I've been born again

Saturday night in the city
Parties on every block
It's a temptation for a man who loves to party
But my party days had to stop
So brothers, you can keep your street life
Changin' women like you change your clothes
'Cause every woman I need, she's wrapped up in one
My love just grows and grows
Well, a whole lot of women is an ego trip
I'd rather spend my time kissin' baby's sweet lips

I've been born again
(There's a change in me)
I've been born again
(I said, a change, a change)
I've been born again
(There's a change in me)
I've been born again
(I said, a change, a change)
Oh, I'm not a Cassanova
My playin' days are over

I think I'm gonna start me a fire
Got my matchbox in my hand
Burnin' up the pages in my little black book
Start my life all over again
I don't need no women in excess
I can't afford to spread my lovin' around
'Cause when my woman, she's needin' me by her side
I just don't wanna let her down
Well, a whole lot of women is an ego trip
I'd rather spend my, spend my time kissin' baby's sweet lips

I've been born again
(There's a change in me)
I've been born again
(I said, a change, a change)
I've been born again
(There's a change in me)
I've been born again
(I said, a change, a change)
Oh, I'm not a Cassanova
My playin' days are over

Now I don't need a lot of women, no, no
Just to prove my manhood
I got me one special woman
So I can be the man that I should
Oh, a whole lot of women is an ego trip
I'd rather spend my, spend my time kissin' baby's sweet lips

I've been born again
(There's a change in me)
I've been born again
(I said, a change, a change)
Well, I've been born again
(There's a change in me)
Oh, I've been born again
(I said, a change, a change)

I've been born again
(There's a change in me)
The places that I used to, buddy, I dont go no more
(I said, a change, a change)
The things I used to do, I don't do no more
I've been born again
I've been born again, right! Alright!
