Do I say this?

Or that?

Yes or no?

Stop or go?


I don't know.

It's dizzying

Trying to prevent mistakes

It's got my head spinning.


Right or wrong?

Left or right?

In or out?

Hot or cold?


It's fifty-fifty with you

I'm perfect or completely wrong

No grey, white and black only

Flawless or as wrong as murder


Say boy, what's it gonna be?

Yes or no? Right or wrong?

Baby I'm so afraid

I'll make the wrong choice


I nearly ruined it all

With a few words

And now I'm afraid

To talk without hours of thought


Because one mistake could end it all
