Think Twice
Celine Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been the sweetest part of my life for so long
I look in your eyes, there's a distant light
And you and I know there'll be a storm tonight
This is getting serious
Are you thinking 'bout you or us?
Don't say what you're about to say
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
Baby, think twice
Oh, baby, think twice for the sake of our love, for the memory
For the fire and the faith that was you and me
Babe, I know it ain't easy when your soul cries out for higher ground
'Cause when you're halfway up, you're always halfway down
But, baby, this is serious (this is serious)
Are you thinking 'bout you or us?
Don't say what you're about to say
Look back before you leave my life
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
Baby, think twice
Baby, this is serious (this is serious)
Are you thinking 'bout you or us?
Baby, don't say what you're about to say (no, no, no, no)
Look back before you leave my life (don't leave my life)
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
(Baby, think twice) don't do what you're about to do
My everything depends on you (I depend on you)
Whatever it takes, I'll sacrifice
Before you roll those dice (don't do it, baby, no, don't do it, baby)
Don't say what you're about to say
Look back before you leave my life (don't leave my life)
Be sure before you close that door
Before you roll those dice
Baby, think twice
In Celine Dion's song Think Twice, the lyrics convey a sense of confusion, uncertainty and desperation as she implores her partner not to make any hasty decisions. She expresses her concern that there is something wrong and that she can feel it, but she cannot seem to put her finger on what it is. She reminds him of the memories, the fire and the faith that they had shared and urges him to think twice before he makes any impulsive choices that could destroy their relationship. Despite the pain in her heart, Dion makes it clear that she is willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of their love.
The central thesis of Think Twice is encapsulated in the repeated phrase "Are you thinking about you or us?" Dion is trying to reconcile the idea that people make decisions for themselves with the fact that relationships involve two people. This song is about the struggle to maintain a balanced relationship and trying to convince someone not to focus solely on their own wants and needs but to consider how their actions will affect the other person involved.
