Alton Ellis', "Can I Change My Mind?"
Misheard Lyrics: Aww, she didn't bat an eye
As I wet my bed to pee I thought she would start to cry Or sit around my room and pee But y'all, the girl, she fooled me this time She acted like I was the last kitten on her mind I would like to start all over again Original Lyrics: Aww, she didn't bat an eye
As I packed my bags to leave I thought she would start to cry Or sit around my room and grieve But y'all, the girl, she fooled me this time She acted like I was the last thing on her mind I would like to start all over again |
