Can I Change My Mind
Reconsidering Love's Choice: Hortense Ellis' Reflection
Lyrics
She didn't bat an eye, as I packed my bags to leave
Leaving without emotional response from her.
I thought she would cry, or sit around my room and grieve
Expecting her to be upset, but she remains composed.
But oh the girl she fooled me this time
Feeling deceived by her unexpected reaction.
Acting like I was the last thing on her mind
She acts as if he's not important to her.
Now I'd like to start all over again
Expressing a desire to restart their relationship.
I just want to change my mind
Expressing regret and a wish to reconsider.
As I took those steps, toward that open door
Taking steps toward leaving.
Knowing all the time, oh Lord I just didn't wanna go
Reluctant to leave, knowing he doesn't want to.
She didn't give me no sign
No indication from her that he should stay.
Nothing that would make me wanna change my mind
No gestures or signs that would change his mind.
And I would like to start all over again
Reiterating the desire to start anew.
Baby, can I change my mind
Requesting permission to change his decision.
'Cause I would like to change my mind
Reaffirming the wish to reconsider the breakup.
You know, I was confused, sitting here by myself thinking
Reflecting on the confusion of the situation.
watching you walk to the door and walk away
Watching the person leave, uncertain of what to say.
what was I supposed to say change your mind
Questioning what he was supposed to say to make them stay.
Oh I've played my game so many times before
Admitting to playing games in previous relationships.
But people let me tell y'all, that I never reached the door
Despite playing games, he never reached this point before.
Oh the wind it is high tonight
Describing a tense atmosphere.
I keep lookin' for my baby but she's not in sight
Searching for a loved one who is not present.
And I would like to start all over again
Reiterating 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 to restart the relationship.
Baby can I change my, my mind
Reaffirming the plea to change his mind.
'Cause I would like to start all over again with you girl
Expressing the desire to start anew with the person.
