So afraid of living out my life

Taking time, Oh I've got to think about it

I know what's mine is slipping through my hands

I can't stand, no to have to think about it

Maybe I'm aching for something, waiting for something

Don't want to compromise

Sometimes I think I don't need it, no

[Chorus]

You think I'm afraid but I want to be wanted

Take some time, you gotta think about it

Just a caricature of a lover

Just, just, just think about it when you get in your car

You say I'm afraid and you're making me beg

So, what you gonna do

You gotta think about it

I can see what I need, guaranteed, after all this time

So, you gotta think about it

Once again asking for permission

I call you up, Oh I need to think about us

You make me feel like a hungry little kid who thinks he's on a mission

But this is real, Oh I need to think about it

Maybe I'm asking for something, waiting for something

Don't want to compromise

Sometimes I think I don't need it, but now I've seen

[Chorus]

Take some time, make up your mind

Always asking why, why, do I think about

What I am, where I come from

You don't realise that it's starting to pull me apart

Take some time, make up your mind

Always asking why, why do I think about

What I am, where I come from

You don't realise that it's starting to pull me apart

[Chorus]

Yes you gotta think about it

Yes you gotta think about it [repeated]
