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
