Think carefully before you say a word
Please make sure what's in your heart, you can afford
So if you lay your coat across the barbed wire fence
Don't expect anyone to rush to your defense

So I hear you want to go out on your own
And there's nothing that can stop you, rest assured
Someone will quickly fill your shoes
And it'll be the same without you

The book on you is that you lack the chin
And at best your legs are fragile and thin
But you display the heart of a champion
But too often it's to your detriment

So I hear you want to go out on your own
Well, there's no one here to stop you, rest assured
Someone will quickly take your place
And it'll be the same without you

All your life you have been told you were the one
And that sooner or later your time will come
So you've been watching as the year fly slowly by
Waiting for your moment to arrive

So I hear you want to go out on your own
And there's nothing that can stop you, rest assured
Someone will quickly fill your shoes
And it'll be the same without you
