You take on me
And break apart the everything that makes me man
So I want you to leave
If I ever want to restore my sanity
Oh, baby, look at me, I'm a fool
I'd tear myself in two for the vision in you
But, baby, don't you know?
Every time you come around, girl, you got me thinking
Now I'm gonna lose it and every time I talk to you, you better listen
'Cause you need to choose between the things
That will lift you up and will break you down
Oh baby, don't you know? Yeah, yeah
Just listen to the words that I got to say
You wanna do it you're on and go about it your way
I don't suggest that you walk that path alone
You don't have the protection or the knowledge, girl
To prevent you from the bad harm of the world
I wanna say that you're more than welcome to leave with me
Oh, but now, baby, don't you know your man's a fool?
By now, now, tear myself in two for the vision of loving you
Hey, every time you come around, girl, you got me thinking
Now I'm gonna lose it and every time I talk to you, you better listen
'Cause you need to choose between the things
That will lift you up and will break you down
Oh baby, don't you know? Hey, yeah, yeah
Stop, wait, slow down a minute, you're moving too fast, baby
And stop, wait, slow down a minute, you're moving
You wanna, don't you wanna just slow it down?
Oh, for the sake of your mercy, girl
Don't you, don't you, don't you, no, don't you
Wanna slow it down?
Now you know, every time I talk to you, you better listen
'Cause you need to choose between the things
That will lift you up and will wither your soul
'Cause, girl, you better know now
Every time I talk to you, you better listen
'Cause you need to choose between the things
That will lift you up and will wither your soul
'Cause, girl, you better know now
Every time I talk to you, you better listen
'Cause, girl, you better choose what is right for you, baby
