Can I Change My Mind
A Second Chance at Love: Can I Change My Mind by Willie Clayton
Lyrics
She didn't bat an eye, as I packed my bags to leave
Leaving, expecting an emotional reaction from her
I thought she would cry, or sit around my room and grieve
Anticipating tears or sorrowful behavior
But oh the girl she fooled me this time
Surprised by her deception or trickery this time
Acting like I was the last thing on her mind
Behaving as if he didn't matter
Now I'd like to start all over again
Desiring a fresh start
I just want to change my mind
Expressing the wish to reconsider
As I took those steps, toward that open door
Moving towards leaving
Knowing all the time, oh Lord I just didn't wanna go
Not wanting to depart despite heading out
She didn't give me no sign
No indication or reason given by her to stay
Nothing that would make me wanna change my mind
No actions or words from her prompted a change of mind
And I would like to start all over again
Expressing the desire to restart the relationship
Baby, can I change my mind
Pleading to reconsider the decision
'Cause I would like to change my mind
Reiterating the wish to change the decision
You know, I was confused, sitting here by myself thinking
Feeling uncertain and lost in thoughts
watching you walk to the door and walk away
Watching the partner leave without clarity on what to do
what was I supposed to say change your mind
Uncertain about persuading the partner to stay
Oh I've played my game so many times before
Having played similar relationship games but never gone too far
But people let me tell y'all, that I never reached the door
Others never let him reach this point of departure before
Oh the wind it is high tonight
Feeling a sense of tension or anticipation
I keep lookin' for my baby but she's not in sight
Searching for the partner who's not present
And I would like to start all over again
Desiring to rewind the situation
Baby can I change my mind
Requesting permission to change the decision
'Cause I would like to start all over again
Desiring a fresh start or a chance to redo
Baby can I change my, my mind
Repeated plea for reconsideration
'Cause I would like to start all over again with you girl
Wanting a new beginning specifically with her
