Word To The Wise lyrics

I've tried so many times To forget the things I've done But you don't seem to let me I guess it's all just in fun Maybe I should ask you nice Like civil people do I'd get away with murder If I'd only think it through Try and stop just long enough And look into my eyes Push me and I'll push right back Word to the wise One time let me do things One time my own way I've sweat blood just to please you How much can I pay? I feel I'm being smothered Your hands outstretched to my face Clasped in prayer around my throat I'll die in your embrace Try to stop just long enough And look into my eyes Push me and I'll push right back Can't you realize Holding back is all that's tough Word to the wise Push me and I'll push right back Cut you down to size One time let me do things One time my own way I've sweat blood just to please you How much can I pay? I feel I'm being smothered Your hands outstretched to my face Clasped in prayer around my throat I'll die in your embrace Try and stop just long enough And look into my eyes Push me and I'll push right back Word to the wise.
