Think
Garcia & Saunders Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could give up my friends I know
And in return you could give up yours

Before we think, what would we do later on?
What kind of life would we have
Just in case we both were wrong?

I give up my woman you give your man

But it don't make sense to take the chance

Before we think, what would we do later on?
What kind of life would we have
Just in case we both were wrong?

Well love is a gamble, we know that's true
Why gamble on me? Why should I on you?

Before we think, what would we do later on?

What kind of life would we have
Just in case we both were wrong?
