Sonny Think Twice
Chicago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You thought you were so very strong
You had too much glory
Just a little too much too soon
You thought you could never be wrong
She would always buy your song
What a sad, sad story
Every man will get his chance to play the fool
Every time he takes the chance and thinks he's cool
Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
And you don't know what to do
When it all comes down to you
If you're so afraid to be loved
Because you see too much
What a sad, sad story
But you brought it upon yourself
If they'd been all up for fun
Now you got nowhere to run
With your sad, sad story
It's an age old story
Every man will get his chance to play the fool
Every time he takes the chance and thinks he's cool
Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
Sonny think twice
Now you don't know what to do
When it all comes down to you
Don't think that she don't care
'Bout your Saturday night affair
And you better watch out
Somebody is gonna be there
Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone

on Oh, Thank You Great Spirit
Great song and a fitting tribute to Jimi from his friend and fan Terry Kath, I've all ways believed the song was kind of a prospective of the dead, coming to the realization that they have crossed over and or no longer burden by all of life's problem's and pain's and are now free from all, and now overcome with gratitude to the Great Spirit , Greater of the universe and of life , GOD, that he is now free to fly the heavenly sky's , but ether way death or just a good night's sleep, great song.
