Think It Over
Uriah Heep Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've had all I can take
I've taken just too much
I've made a big mistake
That put me out of touch

I don't think I can face
Another single day
Without a call from you

To take this pain away

So many tears ago
You turned and walked away
It could've been the end
But I knew better

I had to tell myself
There'll be another day
She wants to call it quits
But don't you let her

Can't you see
There's a chance for you and me?
Think it over, don't believe
In the things that may not be
Think it over
Why don't you think it over?

Forgetting you is out
I ain't givin' in
The fuss was down to you
But it's not over

You have to face the truth
I'm still in love with you
I have to make you see
That it's not over

Can't you see
There's a chance for you and me?
Think it over, don't believe
In the things that may not be
Think it over
Why don't you think about it, babe? Yeah

Can't you see
There's a chance for you and me?
Think it over, don't believe
In the things that may not be
Think it over

Can't you see
There's a chance for you and me?
Think it over, don't believe
In the things that may not be
Think it over

Can't you see
There's a chance for you and me?
Think it over, don't believe
In the things that may not be
Think it over

Can't you see
There's a chance for you and me?
