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 wont 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 wont 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 aint 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 aint got nothing to lose,
Then again, I aint standing in your shoes...
Now make sure you're sure.
You better make sure you're sure...
