Lyrics
YOU'VE CHANGED YOUR MIND
So you've changed your mind now I'm out the door
You pulled in the welcome mat so out love is over baby just like that
Well can you change back or has it gone to stay
I've begun to think you don't wanna hear a single word I say
And I can't understand why you've changed your mind
When a love like ours can be so very hard to find
And I can't figure out where you've misplaced the care
We were having a good time and then you changed your mind
So today I'm "The East Side Boy", last night I was your man
So today you're "The Older Woman" and you're thinking
I can never really understand you
I know you needed loving; I've been there for you
Kept you up a little late at night but I
Showed you baby what love can do
And I can't understand why you've changed your mind
When a love like ours can be so very hard to find
And I can't figure out where you've misplaced the care
We were having a good time and then you changed your mind
(What-cha gonna do?) I feel like running and hiding
So I won't have to hear your name
(What-cha gonna do?) I'm gonna keep my love inside
And though you know I hate to play that game
(What-cha gonna do?) And to think you've still been deciding
It hurts to know I've been so blind
(What-cha gonna do?) All the plans that we've made are denied
And it hurts to know you've changed your mind
(Instrumental)
We were having a good time
Out on the night we met I should have placed you then
As a lonely soul out searching and drifting on the wild wind
The weather always changes and there's thick and thin
But when I look back I can see you we're just a fickle
Fair-weather friend
And I can't understand why you've changed your mind
We were having a good time
And I can't figure out where you've misplaced the care
We were having a good time and then you changed your mind
