Change Your Mind
J.J.ケイル Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I detect a side-effect of a complicated life
The edge is on, sharp as a knife
Underground tremor, stop it with a dime
Hey girl, call me if you change your mind
Contemplation, meditation, all that jive
Taking out the medicine just before sunrise
Underground tremor, stop it with a dime
Hey girl, call me if you change your mind
I just want to love you and that's a fact
I just want to tell you when we get back
You're just the kind of woman do a man all night
You're just the kind of woman that's a dynamite




Underground tremor, stop it with a dime
Hey girl, call me if you change your mind

Overall Meaning

In J.J. Cale's "Change Your Mind," the lyrics describe a complicated life and the side effects that come with it. The singer offers a solution to stop the "underground tremor" by offering himself as a support system to the woman in question. He wants her to know that he just wants to love her and be there for her, no matter what. He believes that she is the kind of woman who can satisfy a man all night and is a dynamite.


The repeated line "Underground tremor, stop it with a dime" suggests that there is something going on beneath the surface of this woman's life that she might not understand or be able to control. However, the singer feels confident that he can stop this "tremor" with just a phone call, creating a sense of comfort and reassurance for the woman. The overall message of this song seems to be that no matter how complicated life can get, there is always someone there who cares and is willing to help.
