Joan Armatrading - Consequences Lyrics

I see your message on the whiteboard
I got your telephone call
When you decide on your choices
Think of the consequences
Think of the consequences

(I know, I know) I know you're testing all the boundaries
(A little bit me, a little bit you)
I see your crocodile tears (playing games)
(I know, I know) I'm gonna keep throwing up shots
(Don't wanna lose this)
At the consequences (beautiful love we found)
(And if I can) consequences
(I'd take away all the pain and the hurt I've caused you
I know, I know
You wanna do the same 'cause you want things right again)

Finger-pointing is aggressive
I'm no angel, I know
But don't just follow your impulses
Actions have a voice that cries out
Just tell me what you want me to know

(I know, I know) In the end, we will better
(A little bit me, a little bit you)
If we can sit and talk (playing games)
(I know, I know) no retribution
(Don't wanna lose this)
The past has a part to play and (beautiful love we found)
(And if I can) decisions we make today we
(I'd take away all the pain) can't know the consequences
(And the hurt I've caused you)
(I know, I know) The consequences
(You wanna do the same 'cause you want things right again)

Don't want a power struggle
I just want to reinforce the choice
If your actions hurt my heart
I gotta show you just how much
You're testing boundaries, pushing limits
Giving in might be easier
To let you in and bear the consequences

You won't lose your sense of self
Water has a natural way it flows
Let's try hard to work things out
Let's have a plan A, B, C, and D
Set up guidelines, keep our cool
Can't maintain the status quo
We got problems
And there are consequences

Don't give me drama and emotion
We're gonna follow this through
We've gotta take away restrictions
And face the consequences
I know you're testing all the boundaries
I see your crocodile tears
I'm gonna keep throwing out shots
At the consequences

(I know, I know) I know you're testing all the boundaries
(A little bit of me, a little bit of you)
I see your crocodile tears (playing games)
(I know, I know) I'm gonna keep throwing up shots
(Don't wanna lose this beautiful)
At the consequences (love we found)
(And if I can) I know you're testing all the boundaries
(I'd take away all the pain) I see your crocodile tears
(And the hurt I've caused you)
(I know, I know) I'm gonna keep throwing up shots
(You wanna do the same 'cause you want)
At the consequences (things right again)
(I know, I know) I know you're testing all the boundaries
(A little bit of me, a little bit of you)
I see your crocodile tears (playing games)
(I know, I know) I'm gonna keep throwing up shots
(Don't wanna lose this beautiful)
At the consequences (love we found)
(And if I can) I know you're testing all the boundaries
(I'd take away all the pain)
I see your crocodile tears (and the hurt I've caused you)
(I know, I know) I'm gonna keep throwing up shots
