You Choose Songtext
von Étienne Daho

He′s gone, you've lost
Stay behind and count the cost
You try, you lose
You don′t fall in love by chance, you choose

It's a decision made over time
Should you take a risk and start to climb
The steepest hill only to find
Halfway there, you've been left behind?

Choosing to love is risking a lot
And trying to change and to give all you′ve got
But don′t pretend
It comes out of the blue


You take a chance and see it through
And if it's refused, what can you do?
Continue hopefully?
Start anew?

Lick your wounds, buy your booze
You won′t get drunk by accident, you'll choose
Don′t blame him for refusing your bid
He didn't decide to love
You did

Learn the lesson, take the blows
You didn′t fall in love by chance, you chose
Play the sad songs, sing the blues
You don't fall in love by chance, you choose

You choose
You choose
