Took her pills and her magazines Left her lying in her misery He was locked up in his room Colored pinwheels as the sirens wine down the avenue [Chorus] Think about it once Take your time don't fuss What you got to lose Everybody choose Think about it once Take your time, don't fuss All the dog-eared pages on your shell You never talk except about yourself
All the red eyes in the room Tried to rearrange your world for you [Chorus] Think about it once What you got to lose As he pulled his pad and scribbled "suicide" the county coroner, he shook his head from side to side He was a little less than pleased Very pale and very tired The toil of love had brought them to their knees [Chorus: x2]
