You Owe it to Yourself

It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead.

No More sweet kisses or afternoon delight
I’ll say I’m wrong if you want to be right
Every dog has its day at least so they say
You owe it to yourself either way.

Twenty one is the age of lost romance
Or does a half-forgotten dream need one more chance
Only time can tell, one day at a time
You owe it to yourself, you’re in your prime

A bit dismayed
But I won't hold you to the promises you made
Say goodbye and nothing more
You owe it to yourself to know for sure

Seems it's every man for himself to find his heart
She may be with random guys to fill the part
It’s your life, what can I say
You owe it to yourself to have your day

No tears, no lies, please don't be cruel
Just let me wish you well
While I'm still inclined to play the fool
You owe it to yourself, what the hell

So say goodbye and say no more
You’ll never see me outside you door
You owe it to yourself to know for sure
You owe it to yourself to know for sure
