| Got myself in this situation, | |
| I'm not sure about. | |
| Climbing in where there's temptation, | |
| Can I get back out? | |
| I never can quite find the answer, | |
| The one I want to hear. | |
| The one that justifies my action | |
| Says the coast is clear. | |
| Something on the outside | |
| Says to jump on in, | |
| But something on the inside | |
| Is telling me again, | |
| Chorus: | |
| Better wise up. | |
| Better think twice. | |
| Never leave room for compromise. | |
| You better wise up. | |
| Better get smart. | |
| And use your head to guard your heart. | |
| It's gonna get rough, | |
| So you better wise up. | |
| Take a look at your intentions, | |
| When you have to choose. | |
| Could it be that apprehension, | |
| Might be telling you, | |
| To back off now is better, | |
| So take your heart and run. | |
| But get your thoughts together, | |
| Before they come undone. | |
| (Repeat Chorus) | |
| (You got to wise up. | |
| You got to think twice. | |
| You got to wise up. | |
| You got to. You got to.) | |
| To back off now is better, | |
| So take your heart and run. | |
| But get your thoughts together, | |
| Before they come undone. | |
| (Repeat Chorus) | |
| So you better wise up. | |
| Better think twice. | |
| And never leave room for compromise. | |
| Oh, you better wise up. | |
| Better get smart. | |
| And use your head to guard your heart. | |
| It's gonna get rough, | |
| So you better wise up. | |
| (You got to wise up. | |
| You got to think twice. (Hohhhh!) | |
| You got to wise up. (Oh, yeah!) | |
| You got to. You got to.) | |
| So you better wise up, now.... | |
| (You got to wise up. | |
| You got to think twice. (Better wise up, y'all!) | |
| You got to wise up. | |
| You got to. You got to. (Oh, yeah!)) | |
| (You got to wise up. | |
| You got to think twice. (Better...) | |
| You got to wise up. (Oh, you better wise up, now....) | |
| You got to. You got to. (Ohhhhh, yeah!!!)) | |
| (You got to wise up. (Hoo! Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoooooooo-hoo!!) | |
| You got to think twice. | |
| You got to wise up. | |
| You got to. You got to. (Oh, got to show yo', yeah!)) | |
| (You got to wise up. | |
| You got to think twice. (Hoaa!! Oowwwww!!!) | |
| You got to wise up. | |
| You got to. You got to.) |
