Don't waste your time
On people going nowhere
Make up your own mind
And you're already halfway there
Hesitate
Or give a second thought
And you'll be late
Forget what you've been taught
You could have it nice or complicated
You could pay full price or you could take it
You could improvise and be creative
You've got a lot to give and you've got a life to live
Don't put it off
Another minute longer
Don't go all soft
You've got to be stronger
Don't speculate
'Cause no one ever knows
It's up to fate
And you can't predict the way it goes
You could have it nice or complicated
You could pay full price or you could take it
You could improvise and be creative
You've got a lot to give, you've got a life to live
You don't do anything
You won't do anything
You won't say anything that isn't kind
Anything that isn't nice
Don't waste your time
On people going nowhere
Don't wait in line
If you expect to get somewhere
Save your breath
Don't wanna hear your stance
It's just a guess
And you only have this chance
You could have it nice or complicated
You could pay full price or you could take it
You could improvise and be creative
You could roll the dice or you could play dead
You could give advice or you could take it
You could have it all, you could have it all
You could have everything you love
Everything you love, everything you love
You could have it all, you could have it all
You could have everything you love
Everything you love, everything you love
You could have it all, you could have it all
You could have everything you love
Everything you love, everything you love
Reach out and take it
You've got so much to give
And you've got a life to live
On people going nowhere
Make up your own mind
And you're already halfway there
Hesitate
Or give a second thought
And you'll be late
Forget what you've been taught
You could have it nice or complicated
You could pay full price or you could take it
You could improvise and be creative
You've got a lot to give and you've got a life to live
Don't put it off
Another minute longer
Don't go all soft
You've got to be stronger
Don't speculate
'Cause no one ever knows
It's up to fate
And you can't predict the way it goes
You could have it nice or complicated
You could pay full price or you could take it
You could improvise and be creative
You've got a lot to give, you've got a life to live
You don't do anything
You won't do anything
You won't say anything that isn't kind
Anything that isn't nice

Everything you love, everything you love
Reach out and take it
You've got so much to give
And you've got a life to live
