Think Twice
Robben Ford The Blue Line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You need love, real love. Ain’t no better man.
I tried to work it out, but anything I could do.
My words are falling after years, there is no getting through to you.
I’m speaking from the heart now, hear what I say.
You find a way to good things
Maybe the best thing to come your way.
Before you close that door, take another long last look at the one who loves you
Consider everything, cause what we had was good.
But you did what you wanted, well I did all I could.
To please you baby, now there’s heartache in every turn
And you stand holding matches, while we watch these bridges burn
And I can see from miles ahead, the highway never ends.
And the one you turn away from, you never will come across again
You better think twice, before you make you’re move, think twice yeah.
Before you turn away, take another long last look at the one who loves you
I didn’t see it coming, you took me by surprise
I’m turning all the loving trust, in the colour of your eyes
A change of direction, a certain change of heart
All those words and promises, they are all cast aside and torn apart
It’s such a long time baby, you ment so much to me.
Now each side of passes, becomes my enemy
I gotta see it out, now I’m gonna make it through.
I’m gonna make a change here and I guess it’s not for you.
Well somewhere down the road baby, you come to understand.
You had it all before you and I was the lonely man.
You better think twice, before you slam that door, think twice yeah.
Before you walk away, take another long last look at the one who loves you
