You Better Listen

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

Baby, look at me I'm the fool

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

Baby, don't you know every time you come around, girl

You've got me thinking

That I'm going to lose it

And every time I talk to you, you'd better listen

'Cause you need to choose between the things

That'll 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 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 want to say that you're more than welcome to leave with me

Oh, but

Baby, don't you know your man's a fool

Tear myself in two for the vision of loving you

Every time you come around, girl, you've got me thinking

I'm going to lose it

Every time I talk to you, you'd better listen

You need to choose between the things

That'll lift you up and will break you down

Baby, don't you know? Hey, yeah-yeah

Stop, wait, slow down a minute

You're moving too fast, baby

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

You wanna, don't you wanna just slow it down

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'd better listen

'Cause you need to choose between the things

That'll lift you up and wither your soul

Girl, you better know now, every time I talk to you

You'd better listen

You need to choose between the things

That'll lift you up and wither your soul

Girl, you better know now, every time I talk to you

You'd better listen

Girl, you better choose what is right for you, baby
