(Wayne Kirkpatrick & Billy Simon)

Got myself in this situation

I'm not sure about
Climbing in where there's temptation
Can I get back out

I never can quite find the answer
The one I want to hear
The one that justifies my action

Says the coast is clear
something on the outside
Says to jump on in

Something on the inside
Is telling me again


[Chorus:]
Better wise up
Better think twice

Never leave room for compromise
You better wise up
Better get smart

And use your head to guard your heart
It's gonna get rough
So you better wise up


Take a look at your intentions
When you have to choose

Could it be that aprehension
Might be telling you
To back off now is better

So take your heart and run
But get your thoughts together
Before they come undone


[Chorus]


To back off now is better
So take your heart and run
But get your thoughts together

Before they come undone

[Chorus]


Better wise up...
