Consequences
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Not a day goes by
That a man doesn't have to choose
Between what he wants
What he's afraid to lose
Along comes temptation
And he can't refuse, no
I know the different 'tween wrong and right
Don't make no difference in the middle of the night
Take the bait
You pay the price
It's much too late
For good advice
You know and I know that our good things' through
Because there's consequences for what we do
Consequences for me and you
I was smokin' and drinkin'
And thinkin' when you walked by
The next thing I knew
I was making up my alibi, yes I was
And all I've done since then
Is lie, lie, lie
I took my chances
Had a real good time
But I'd give my soul
For a little piece of mind
To tell the truth
Is a big mistake
Homes will crumble and hearts will break
Baby, why gamble when there's so much to lose
Because there's consequences for what we do
Consequences for me and you
Oh, listen baby
It's just common sense
Sooner or later
We're gonna suffer the consequences
To tell the truth
And pay the price
I did not listen to Mama's good advice
You know and I know that our good things' through
Because there's consequences for what we do
Consequences for me and you
Consequences of the things that we do
Consequences for me and you
Yeah
We're gonna have to pay the price, baby
Yeah
We're gonna suffer the consequences
Yeah
For hot lovin'
On the side
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Consequences, baby
Hot lovin'
On the side
