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 some sanity, oh



Baby look at me, I'm the fool

I tear myself in two, for the vision of me and you



Baby don't you know

Every time you come around, girl you got me thinking

That I'm gonna loose 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



So listen to the words that I got to say

You want to do it your own, 

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

I tear myself in two, for the vision of me and you



Every time you come around, girl you got me thinking

I'm gonna loose 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



Stop, wait, slow down a minute, you're moving too fast baby

Stop, wait, slow down a minute, you're movin'

Don't you wanna just, slow it down, for the sake of your mercy girl?

Don't you, don't you, 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'd 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'd better know now

Every time I talk to you, you better listen

Cause girl you'd better choose what is right for you baby
