She's Already Made Up Her Mind
Lyle Lovett · Dr. T & the Women [original soundtrack] [2000]
She said something about needing to spend some time alone
And she wondered out loud what it was she had to find
But she's already made up her mind
All my friends told me she was too young
Well I knew that myself and I tried to run
But the faster I ran the more I fell behind
Because she'd already made up her mind
She's already made up her mind
Now there is nothing so deep as the ocean
And there is nothing so high as the sky
And there is nothing so unwavering as a woman
When she's already made up her mind
So now she's sitting at one end of the kitchen table
And she is staring without an expression
And she is talking to me without moving her eyes
Because she's already made up her mind
She's already made up her mind
She's already made up her mind
And she said something about going home
And she said something about needing to spend some time alone
And she wondered out loud what it was she had to find
But she'd already made up her mind
So my friend carry me down to the water's edge
And then sail with me out to that ocean deep
And let me go easy down over the side
And remember me to her
She's already made up her mind
She's already made up her mind
She's already made up her mind
She's Already Made Up Her Mind
