It Doesn’t Have To Be That Way

They always said that you cannot change your mind

Do it once, and you're defined, do it twice and you're divine

It doesn't have to be that way, okay?

They always said that you need to have a plan

Doesn't matter, any plan, any plan they'll understand

It doesn't have to be that way, okay?

I may be wrong, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

No choked down song, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

No singalong, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

I'll pay for it

They always said you must stay between the lines

Be easily defined or you're wasting all your time

It doesn't have to be that way, okay?

They always said that it has to be refined

Or you'll leave someone behind, all the pages must be lined

It doesn't have to be that way, okay?

I may be wrong, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

No choke down song, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

No singalong, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

I'll pay for it

I'll look uncool, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

I'll look the fool, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

I'll look too schooled, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

I'll pay for it

They always said it must reflect your life

And incorporate your strife, maybe mentioning your wife

It doesn't have to be that way, okay?

I may be wrong, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

No choke down song, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

No singalong, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

I'll pay for it

How about a drink? I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

It's been too long, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

Another drink, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it

Oh well, so long, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it
