Word To The Wise

I've tried so many times

To forget the things I've done

But you don't seem to let me

I guess it's all just in fun

Maybe I should ask you nice

Like civil people do

I'd get away with murder

If I'd only think it through

Try and stop just long enough

And look into my eyes

Push me and I'll push right back

Word to the wise

One time let me do things

One time my own way

I've sweat blood just to please you

How much can I pay?

I feel I'm being smothered

Your hands outstretched to my face

Clasped in prayer around my throat

I'll die in your embrace

Try to stop just long enough

And look into my eyes

Push me and I'll push right back

Can't you realize

Holding back is all that's tough

Word to the wise

Push me and I'll push right back

Cut you down to size

One time let me do things

One time my own way

I've sweat blood just to please you

How much can I pay?

I feel I'm being smothered

Your hands outstretched to my face

Clasped in prayer around my throat

I'll die in your embrace

Try and stop just long enough

And look into my eyes

Push me and I'll push right back

Word to the wise.
