What you choose is your choice
You do what you’ll do
I’ve got no voice
I’ve got no voice
It’s not art until someone applauds
That’s why I don’t like to know the odds
Why are we at odds?
Why are we at odds?
Every time that you come around
I’m not allowed to make a sound
That you can hear
Why is that, dear?
All I’ve ever done is sing you songs
And when a comet appears
We both looked up
And everything stopped
I don’t wanna let you down
I don’t wanna let you down
I don’t wanna let you down
I don’t wanna lift you up
I don’t wanna lift you up
I’m not clever enough to be
The villain that you see
There’s not enough
Time to be that rough
Every time that I come along
I wish I could make everything wrong
But try as I might
Everything’s right
I don’t wanna let you down
I don’t wanna let you down
I don’t wanna let you down
I don’t wanna lift you up
I don’t wanna lift you up
What you choose is your choice
You do what you’ll do
I don’t wanna let you down
I don’t wanna let you down
