Only the Names Have Been Changed

Inside the motel
Sue walk to the desk
Signs her name as Miss Jim Slater
She asks for a suite
She only wants 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 changed
To protect the guilty
The guilty and sometimes ashamed
The stories
The people are real
Only the names have 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 changed
To protect the guilty
The guilty and sometimes ashamed
The stories
The people are real
Only the names have changed
Only the names have changed
