That's why ya' gotta be careful, your wishes Take time and think 'em over Sometimes those wishes might come true
Tell 'em you're takin' it So they might as well get used to the You're takin' it Those days are over
'em you've had enough And if don't like it, it's tough You're it back Those cooperating are over
You're takin' it Tell 'em you're it back
