Verse 1

Took her pills and her magazines

Left her lying in her misery

He was locked up in his room

Colored pinwheels as the sirens whine 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

Verse 2

All the dog-eared pages on your shelf

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

Take your time don't fuss

What you got to lose

Everybody choose

Think about it once

What you got to lose

 Interlude

Verse 3

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

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

What you got to lose

Everybody choose

 Solo

Chorus

 Outro (x2)
