Songtexte It Doesn’t Have To Be That Way - Sparks

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
