Wise Up

- Transcript
I don't like girls who see who's seedy you're seedy. You are seedy. I won't kill him. No, no. I don't know my words. Oh Just wise up you better stop and try to size up the fact that all our troubles rise up For things that you have said to me. I said yes, and own up It's due to you that we have blown up Has anyone who's halfway grown up Could check the facts and plainly see My love Soars from the highest sky up Why you should walk to tie up My chance for happiness Is anybody's guess so back up Hey you can save us from a crack up Admit your wrong and take the slack up Can't you read it in my eyes? Why won't you please get wise
Just wise up me before my gentle patience dries up before my anger mold applies up And I meander out the door Listen baby, you're not leaving this place. Clear up The things you're done to get my fear up And help me get my former cheer up And feel the way I felt before My love Soars from the highest sky up Why should you want to tie up My chance for happiness Is anybody's guess so wake up wake up Won't you wait for heaven's sake up Can't you see that we should make up well I'd be glad to compromise
So would I if you would just get If you would just get if you would just get wise
