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...
