Can I Change My Mind - Alton Ellis

Oh, she didn’t bat an eye

As I packed my bags to leave

Thought she would start to cry

Sit around my room all week

But the girl, she fooled me this time

She acted like I was the last thing on her mind

And I would like to start all over again

Baby, can I change my mind?

As I took these steps

Towards the open door

Knowing all the time

Lord, I didn’t want to go She didn’t give me no sign

Nothing that would make me change my mind

And I would like to start all over again

Baby, can I change my mind?

Oh, I played my game

Many, many times before

But people, let me tell you all

Oh, I never reached the door

The wind is high out tonight

I keep lookin' but my baby, baby’s not in sight

And I would like to start all over again

Baby, baby, can I, can I change, change my mind?

I’d be playin' my game
