Will, my baby change her mind?

Will, my baby change her mind?

I can't make you love me, baby

Don't know why I keep on tryin'

Darlin', you jest don't understand

I love you, baby

I'm in hope someday, darlin'

How both can't be your lovin' ma

I want you to understand

When you mistreated me, baby

You misused yo' best man
