Intro x2 Say I'm gonna run away tonight Gonna sit down here and keep out of sight Leave her struggling on her own 'Cos I'm not that strong like her you see I'm not the man that I know I should be I show my feathers and I run I better pull it together, better step up soon 'Cos I've gotta get ready for the baby boom And tie my colours to the mast So I better put down the drink, Take a minute to think About the real world and what I should do Would I run straight home Or keep on drinking alone And just forget that I ever knew? If I am to change for you It's gonna be a bitter pill to swallow For you, for you And if I am to change my view With a different road and goal to follow. It's for you. For you Oh my boy you don't need to know, That daddy was a drunk 'cos he couldn't let go Of his youth and reputation Just running round town like an unemployed clown Drinking to forget that his chips are down Never realising what he had So I better put down the drink, Take a minute to think About the real world and what I should do Would I run straight on Or keep on drinking alone And just forget that I ever knew? For, if I am to change for you It's gonna be a bitter pill to swallow For you, for you And if I am to change my view With a different road and goal to follow. It's for you. For you You come around like it was some big sacrifice Who ever told you that I needed your advice? Oh you should crawl back from where you once came Whoever told you...? That if I am to change for you It's gonna be a bitter pill to swallow For you. For you And if I am to change my view With a different road and goal to follow It's for you. For you And if I am to change for you It's gonna be a bitter pill to swallow For you. For you If I am to face this world It's gonna be a different road to follow For you. For you
