Think carefully before you say a word Please make sure what's in your heart you can afford So if you lay your coat across the barbed-wire fence Don't expect anyone to rush to your defense So i hear you want to go out on your own And there's nothing that can stop you rest assured Someone will quickly fill your shoes And it'll be the same without you The book on you is that you lack the chin And at best your legs are fragile and thin But you display the heart of a champion But too often it's to your detriment So i hear you want to go out on your own Well, there's no one here to stop you rest assured Someone will quickly take your place And it'll be the same without you All your life you have been told you were the one And that sooner or later your time will come So you've been watching as the year fly slowly by Waiting for your moment to arrive So i hear you want to go out on your own And there's nothing that can stop you rest assured Someone will quickly fill your shoes And it'll be the same without you.
