Think Twice
Y.M.P. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't think I can't feel there's something wrong
You've been the sweetest part of my life 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

[Chorus]

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 think twice for the sake of our love, for the memory
For the fire and the faith that was you and me
Baby I know it ain't easy when your soul cries out for a higher ground
'Coz when you're halfway up, you're always halfway down
But baby this is serious
Are you thinking 'bout you or us

[Chorus]

Baby 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

Don't do what you're about to do
My everything depends on you
And whatever it takes, I'll sacrifice

Before you roll those dice
Baby think twice

Don't think I can't feel there's something wrong
I can sense there's something not right

You've been the sweetest part of my life so long
You've been such a wonderful part of my life for a long time

I look in your eyes, there's a distant light
I see a distant look in your eyes

And you and I know there'll be a storm tonight
We both know there'll be trouble tonight

This is getting serious
This is becoming a serious matter

Are you thinking 'bout you or us
Are you considering yourself or our relationship?

Don't say what you're about to say

Look back before you leave my life
Think about our past before you walk away

Be sure before you close that door
Be certain before you end things between us

Baby think twice
Please reconsider and think carefully about what you're doing

Baby think twice for the sake of our love, for the memory
Please think again for the sake of our love and our memories together

For the fire and the faith that was you and me
For the passion and trust we once had

Baby I know it ain't easy when your soul cries out for a higher ground
I realize it's not easy when you want something more or different

Coz when you're halfway up, you're always halfway down
Because when you're halfway to your goal, you can still fall back down

Don't do what you're about to do
Don't do whatever it is you're planning to do

My everything depends on you
My whole life revolves around you

And whatever it takes, I'll sacrifice
I'm willing to do anything, even give up things, for our relationship
