I knew you made your decision
When you got the place downtown
Just like you made your decision
When your Dad wasn't around
There's 2 ways never to be like him
And one means sticking around
You choose the other - Never settle down
Hey now, no religion
No ties, and no commitment
Are you free? Is your heart lighter than
When you loved me?
Hey now, nothin' on ya
And in a few years nothin's gonna
Hold on to your broken back
There's 2 ways never to lose
And 1 is never to try
Never let anyone down
And never see them cry
I guess it's your decision
And you're doing what you think you can
I think you're being so blind
But all I can do is try and understand
Hey now
It's you who's all alone
Hey now
Your pretty face has come and gone
Hey now
Tell yourself it's what you wanted
It's too late to turn around
Hey now, hey now
