it's ok, I'll do what I want  

if I choose, I can take the fall  

there's a choice  

it's my destiny  

in my hands  

yeah it's up to me  

I can drive  

I can shoot a gun in the streets  

score me some heroin  

I can jump  

be the sacrifice  

bear my cross just like Jesus Christ  

and I don't wanna hear what love can do  

no, I ain't gonna tell ya what's right for you  

is it right to take the easy way  

close your eyes  

get on your knees and pray  

now you're saved by a higher voice  

givin' up, givin' up, givin' up your choice  

if I'm wrong then I'll pay for it  

if I'm right, yeah you're gonna hear about it  

but I've tried, yeah I've tried for it  

I tried, I tried, 'til I'm satisfied  

and I......  

I'm tired of hearing what love can do  

and I.....  

ain't gonna tell you what's right for you  

I've seen the damage done  

down with the shotgun  

ohhhh.......  

is it right to take the easy way  

I don't know  

I get on your knees and pray  

now I'm saved by a higher voice  

givin' up, givin' up, givin' up my choice  

if I'm wrong then I'll pay for it  

if I'm right, yeah you're gonna deal with it  

'cause I've tried, yeah I tried for it  

I tried, I tried, even die for it  

no I.....  

don't wanna hear what love can do  

no I....  

I can't tell you what's right for you  

oh I.... I... I.....  

tell you what love can do  

no I... I... I...  

can't say but your time is through  

I've seen the damage done  

oh Lord, I've heard the shotgun  

ohhh.......  

don't tell me what love can do  

hey, hey, hey  

don't tell me what love can do  

hey, hey, hey
