The Pips's song "Baby Don't Change Your Mind" is about a man who has an ex-girlfriend coming back into town and going through her act, which may make him reconsider his relationship with the singer. The lyrics describe the singer's apprehension and plea for the man to not change his mind about their love. The song portrays the singer's hopes and fears, showcasing her worries that the man's love will not stay intact, even though he previously claimed it was true. Throughout the song, the singer's refrain of "baby don't change your mind" is a desperate plea for the man to not leave her and to choose to stay by her side despite his past with his ex-girlfriend.

It also communicates the importance of standing up for what you believe in and not letting the past determine the future.

Always is. My first musical memory was a Gladys tune: If You Ever Get Your Hands On Love from 1967. Over 50 years later, it STILL gives me goosebumps when I hear that bassline opening few bars.
Trust me... Absolutely heart grabbing song ❤
