Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I came at you a young boy, girl, with no experience
And year in, year out, we had our ups and downs
But I always took it serious
I made the jokes, I played the fool
I took time, made all the plans
I know I told you that we were supposed to have something
Booked for this weekend, but I changed my mind

[Chorus]
I changed my mind, I changed my mind, I changed my mind
And I changed my mind

[Verse 2]
Well, it started getting cozy, girl, I let you control the reins
And despite what I knew to be true
Well, I'd hoped that things would change
I'd even say I can't completely blame my naiveté
'Cause it was situations, in retrospect, where the things you'd say
Would shift direction when put into action
But I'd just let it whiz on by
People'd say, "L.B., it's goin' awry!"
And I'd flip on 'em, say "That's not right!"
Now I see my shit's not tight, and I changed my mind – yeahhh!

Well, I changed my mind, yeah
I've changed my mind, I've changed my mind, I've changed my mind – yeah
I've changed my mind

[Break]
Uh!

[Verse 3]
Well, lookin' back now, as a young man
Girl, in hindsight, I regret
I never listened to my better judgement, so my blind side got the best of me
But we live and learn, what you did in turn
Made me never ever settle for less
Than what I deserve, and once you mature
Girl, you'll always be second best

[Chorus]
I changed my mind – yeah
I changed my mind, I changed my mind, I changed my mind – yeah!
I changed my mind – hey!

[Verse 4]
Well, I really can't say I completely blame my naiveté
'Cause it was situations, in retrospect, where the things you'd say
Would shift direction when put into action
But I'd just let it whiz on by
People'd say, "L.B., it's goin' awry!"
And I'd flip on 'em, sayin' that's not right
Now I see my shit's not tight
It really pains me to see things change
But your limitations would've held me back
The things you'd say, tryin' to underrate me
They were just a reflection of your self-respect
But now I let it whiz on by
You can't tell me L.B. can't fly
Kiss my wings, you can't hypnotize me
Hit the end, singer singin' this: "Bye-bye!"
I changed my mind 'bout this here relationship
That you've become so complacent with (Changed my mind)
I've changed my mind
You'd sacrificed everything we had for half the price (Changed my mind)
Changed my mind
Plain and simple, not tame and gentle, girl (Changed my mind)
Changed my mind, I tried
I've kept it quiet, but now, why the hell ya wanna go and advertise? (Changed my mind)
(Changed my mind)
(Changed my mind)
(Changed my mind...)
(Changed my mind...)
