Oh, ba by, can I change my mind?

I just wan na change my mind.

Ba by, let me change my mind.

Oh, she As I took those steps

as right to that (Cm7)o pen door,

I thought that know ing (Cm7)all the time,

or Lord, I just did (Cm7)not want to go.

Oh, but she did nโ€™t (F6)give me no sign,

she noth ing that would make the me change on my mind.
