Aww, she didn't bat an eye As I packed my bags to leave I thought she would start to cry Or sit around my room and grieve But y'all, the girl, she fooled me this time She acted like I was the last thing on her mind I would like to start all over again Baby, can I change my mind I just want to change my mind Baby, let me change my mind As I took those steps Toward that open door Knowing all the time Oh, Lord, I just didn't want to go But she didn't give me no sign Nothing that would make me change my mind I would like to start all over again Baby, can I change my mind Please, please, please, baby I just want to change my mind Oh, I played my games Many times before But peoples, let me tell y'all Oh, I never reached the door But ooh, the winds howl tonight I keep lookin' back but my baby's nowhere in sight I would like to start all over again Baby, can I change my mind Please, please, please, baby Baby, let me change my mind
