Changing My Mind
Words by Judy Mermelstein
Music by Jim Best
Perhaps I ought to change my mind
About loving you
You make my life so difficult
I don’t know what to do
One minute we’re just sitting here and sharing
The next you hurt me as if not caring
I can’t understand
Why the life that we planned
Why the life that we planned should mean so little to you
I guess I’ll have to change my mind
About loving you
And build myself a whole new life
What else can I do?
You know we’ve been through this before and I know
That it will happen again and again unless I go
I know it sounds strange
But to make a big change
Like living without you will take some thought to arrange
I’m going to try to change my mind
About loving you
Some day I’ll have to start afresh
With somebody new
When that day comes your memory will be fading
I’ll have a love who gives instead of trading
You know that it’s true
I don’t know what to do
But it’s clear that the future for me will be better without you
