You said to me you wanna leave the life you know behind
But before you make a big mistake, girl, put your hand in mine
My conscience knows I must disclose down where you're being led
And whatever road you choose, I’m already three steps ahead
If you look before you leap, you’ll just think about the fall
And if ya’ hit the breaks, you might skid and hit the wall
There won't be time to think if you stop to think twice
But, baby, you don't need my advice...
Just make sure you’re sure
Once we’ve left, don't hold your breath of ever coming home
Wrong or right, or out of spite, to them, you’re on your own
We don't need rings, just grab your things and throw ‘em in a sack
But make sure thats what you want, ‘cos from here, we can’t come back
If you look before you leap, you’ll just think about the fall
And if ya’ hit the breaks, you might skid and hit the wall
There won't be time to think if you stop to think twice
But, baby, you don't need my advice...
Just make sure you’re sure
The odds are high, the chances slim, but at least you know the stakes
If second thoughts are creeping in, then you ain't got what it takes
The cracks in your constitution are starting to show
If the gin in wearing thin, it’s no skin off my nose...
If you look before you leap, you’ll just think about the fall
And if ya’ hit the breaks, you might skid and hit the wall
Ya’ know, from where I’m standing, you ain't got nothing to lose
Then again, I ain't standing in your shoes...
Now make sure you’re sure
You better make sure you’re sure...
