You don't have to do it
You don't have to start all over again
You don't have to do it
Cause when you start you know how the story ends
I know it sounds like a good idea
To say I just can't take any more
But I'm right here my friend
And I'm here till the end
Cause that's what a true friend is for
You don't have to do it
You don't have to start all over again
You don't have to do it
Cause when you start you know how the story ends
If you go out tonight, you know you never can tell
It may sound like heaven, but you'll wind up hell
Your brain is lying to you, bout' how good it was
But listen to your heart now and stay the course
I know it sounds like a good idea
To say I just I can't take any more
But I'm right here my friend
And I'm here till the end
Cause that's what a true friend is for
You don't have to do it
You don't have to start all over again
You don't have to do it
Cause when you start you know how the story ends
The wrong thing seems like the right thing
It's up to you to decide
Will you pick up your chips and walk away from the table
Or are you gonna let it ride
You don't have to do it
You don't have to start all over again
You don't have to do it
Cause when you start you know how the story ends
