| You said to me you wanna leave the life you know behind
 | 
| But before you make a big mistake, girl, put your hand in mine
 | 
| My conscience knows I must disclose down where you’re being led
 | 
| And whatever road you choose, I’m already three steps ahead
 | 
| If you look before you leap, you’ll just think about the fall
 | 
| And if ya' hit the breaks, you might skid and hit the wall
 | 
| There won’t be time to think if you stop to think twice
 | 
| But, baby, you don’t need my advice…
 | 
| Just make sure you’re sure
 | 
| Once we’ve left, don’t hold your breath of ever coming home
 | 
| Wrong or right, or out of spite, to them, you’re on your own
 | 
| We don’t need rings, just grab your things and throw ‘em in a sack
 | 
| But make sure thats what you want, ‘cos from here, we can’t come back
 | 
| If you look before you leap, you’ll just think about the fall
 | 
| And if ya' hit the breaks, you might skid and hit the wall
 | 
| There won’t be time to think if you stop to think twice
 | 
| But, baby, you don’t need my advice…
 | 
| Just make sure you’re sure
 | 
| The odds are high, the chances slim, but at least you know the stakes
 | 
| If second thoughts are creeping in, then you ain’t got what it takes
 | 
| The cracks in your constitution are starting to show
 | 
| If the gin in wearing thin, it’s no skin off my nose…
 | 
| If you look before you leap, you’ll just think about the fall
 | 
| And if ya' hit the breaks, you might skid and hit the wall
 | 
| Ya' know, from where I’m standing, you ain’t got nothing to lose
 | 
| Then again, I ain’t standing in your shoes…
 | 
| Now make sure you’re sure
 | 
| You better make sure you’re sure… |
