Gotta make up your mind, no
Gotta make up your mind, yeah
Gotta make up your mind, no
Gotta make up your mind, yeah
Gotta make up your mind, no
Gotta make up your mind, yeah
Gotta make up your mind, no
Lovin' you, lovin' me, it don't mean a thing
If you don't know what you want
Gotta make up your mind
Gotta make up your mind
You can say what you want
But if you can't do it
Then you're lost before you start
Gotta make up your mind

Lovin' you, lovin' me, it don't mean a thing
If you don't know what you want
Gotta make up your mind
Gotta make up your mind

Then you're lost before you start
Gotta make up your mind
Gotta make up your mind, yeah
"Brand new" ain't nothin' but words
What you gon' do to prove it?
Interested in what you playin'
Shakin' yo bones in the closet
Track is the sound of pressure
Measure in the glass of a whiskey
Bottoms up to the world beyond, to let it go
Gotta make up your mind, yeah
Gotta make up your mind, no
Gotta make up your mind, yeah
Gotta make up your mind, no
Lovin' you, lovin' me, it don't mean a thing

Gotta make up your mind
Gotta make up your mind, yeah

Mandy, Mandy
Addressing the person Mandy and capturing their attention
Make up your mind

Preacher man is handy
A religious speaker is nearby and available
Mandy, easy to find
Mandy's location is not hard to locate
Marching down the aisle with you
Walking together in the center walkway with someone
We'll make them all stare
Attracting attention from everyone and stand out
With a little Black-Eyed Susan
Decorating hair with a small flower of the daisy family
Stuck in your hair
Attached or pasted into the hair

Everything is dandy
Everything is perfect or fine
Mandy, once you are my bride

There may be three of a kind
