Can I Change My Mind
Second Chances and Heartache: Boz Scaggs' Emotional Journey
Lyrics
She didn't bat an eye, as I packed my bags to leave
She showed no emotional reaction as I prepared to leave.
I thought she would cry, or sit around my room and grieve
I expected her to cry or mourn, but she did not.
But oh the girl she fooled me this time
The girl deceived me this time.
Acting like I was the last thing on her mind
She acted as if I was not important to her.
Now I'd like to start all over again
The speaker expresses a desire to start anew.
I just want to change my mind
Expressing a wish to reconsider and change the decision.
As I took those steps, toward that open door
While moving towards leaving, the speaker reflects on his choice.
Knowing all the time, oh Lord I just didn't wanna go
The speaker didn't want to leave despite the decision.
She didn't give me no sign
She gave no indication that would make him reconsider.
Nothing that would make me wanna change my mind
No compelling reason was presented to change his mind.
And I would like to start all over again
Reiterating the desire for a fresh start.
Baby, can I change my mind
Pleading to be allowed to change the decision.
'Cause I would like to change my mind
Reaffirming the desire to alter the initial choice.
You know, I was confused, sitting here by myself thinking
The speaker reflects on his confusion and contemplation.
watching you walk to the door and walk away
Watching the person walk away without knowing what to say.
what was I supposed to say change your mind
Expressing uncertainty about how to make the person change their mind.
Oh I've played my game so many times before
Admitting to playing games in relationships but never reaching a breaking point.
But people let me tell y'all, that I never reached the door
Despite playing games, the speaker never experienced such a situation.
Oh the wind it is high tonight
Referring to a high emotional state or tension in the atmosphere.
I keep lookin' for my baby but she's not in sight
Searching for the partner who is not present.
And I would like to start all over again
Repeating the desire for a fresh beginning.
Baby can I change my mind
Pleading once again to be allowed to change the decision.
'Cause I would like to start all over again
Reiterating the desire for a new start.
Baby can I change my, my mind
Asking for permission to change the decision, emphasizing the desire.
'Cause I would like to start all over again with you girl
Expressing the wish to start over again with the person in question.
