Can I Change My Mind
A Second Chance at Love: Gregory Isaacs' 'Can I Change My Mind'
Lyrics
She didn't bat an eye, as I packed my bags to leave
Leaving and expecting an emotional reaction from the girl.
I thought she would cry, or sit around my room and grieve
Surprised by her lack of tears or visible sadness.
But oh the girl she fooled me this time
The girl deceived the narrator in a way he didn't anticipate.
Acting like I was the last thing on her mind
She acted as if he wasn't important to her.
Now I'd like to start all over again
Expressing a desire to go back and start anew.
I just want to change my mind
Explicitly stating the wish to change the decision.
As I took those steps, toward that open door
Recalling the moment of leaving and heading towards the door.
Knowing all the time, oh Lord I just didn't wanna go
The internal struggle of not wanting to leave despite knowing it's necessary.
She didn't give me no sign
No clear signals or indications from her to reconsider.
Nothing that would make me wanna change my mind
No actions or words to make him 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 for permission to reverse the decision.
'Cause I would like to change my mind
Repeating the strong desire to change the decision.
You know, I was confused, sitting here by myself thinking
Reflecting on confusion while witnessing the departure.
watching you walk to the door and walk away
Recalling the visual image of the girl leaving.
what was I supposed to say change your mind
Questioning what he was supposed to say to make her change her mind.
Oh I've played my game so many times before
Admitting to playing games in relationships before.
But people let me tell y'all, that I never reached the door
Despite previous games, never experiencing reaching the point of departure.
Oh the wind it is high tonight
Reference to the heightened emotional state.
I keep lookin' for my baby but she's not in sight
Searching for the girl without success.
And I would like to start all over again
Reiteration of the desire for a fresh start.
Baby can I change my mind
Repeating the request to change the decision.
'Cause I would like to start all over again
Expressing the desire for a new beginning.
Baby can I change my, my mind
Repeating the plea for permission to change the decision.
'Cause I would like to start all over again with you girl
Reiterating the wish to start anew with the girl.
