Now let me tell you a story about a young man and his lady friend
The poor boy couldn't make up his
Mind so his good thing came to an end
She said boy I'm tired of playin' your games
You know I'm tired of you stringin' me along
If you don't take a stand and start
ccting like my man one day you're gonna wake up
cnd I'll be gone

If you want it go out and get it
If you love it hold on to it
Don't you keep it just cause you think you need it
But if you do it do it like you mean it

Now this young man and we won't mention his name
He said I've heard of women like you
So I'm gonna tell you everything you want to hear
But I'm gonna have my cake and eat it too
Now everybody knows how the story goes
'Cuz people can't help but yack-ity yack
Now this young man's gotten old don't you know he's all alone
cnd his baby she ain't comin' back

Now in the way of tomorrow just right here today
There might be something's got a hold on
You you got to shake loose and get on your way
You might be wonderin' which way to turn
You know we all wonderin' the same thing too
But if you feel there must be something more and love is
What you're livin' for hen here's all I've got to say to you
