Reconsider Baby
Elvis Presley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, so long
Oh, how I hate to see you go
Yes, so long
Oh, how I hate to see you go
Well, the way that I will miss you
I guess you'll never know

We've been together so long
To have to separate this way
We've been together so long
To have to separate this way
Well, I'm gonna let you go ahead on, baby
But let you come back home some day

Play the blues boys, play the blues
One more time

You said you once had loved me
But now I guess you've changed your mind
You said you once had loved me
But now I guess you've changed your mind




Why don't you reconsider baby
Give yourself just a little more time
