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
