Like You Mean It

Now let me tell you a story about a young man and his lady friend
 The poor boy couldn't make up his
 mind so his good thing came to an end
 She said boy I'm tired of playin' your games
 you know I'm tired of you stringin' me along
 If you don't take a stand and start
 acting like my man one day you're gonna wake up
 And I'll be gone
 If you want it go out and get it
 if you love it hold on to it
 don't you keep it just cause you think you need it
 but if you do it do it like you mean it
 Now this young man and we won't mention his name
 he said I've heard of women like you
 So I'm gonna tell you everything you want to hear
 But I'm gonna have my cake and eat it too
 Now everybody knows how the story goes
 'Cuz people can't help but yack-ity yack
 Now this young man's gotten old don't you know he's all alone
 And his baby she ain't comin' back
 Now in the way of tomorrow just right here today
 There might be something's got a hold on
 you you got to shake loose and get on your way
 You might be wonderin' which way to turn
 you know we all wonderin' the same thing too
 But if you feel there must be something more and love is
 what you're livin' for hen here's all I've got to say to you
