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 
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
