[Verse 1: Bill Champlin]
You had it so good for so long
You thought you were so very strong
You had too much glory
Just a little too much too soon
You thought you could never be wrong
She would always buy your song
What a sad, sad story
It's an age old story

[Pre-Chorus: BIll Champlin]
Every man will get his chance
To play the fool
Every time he takes a chance
And thinks he's cool

[Chorus: All, Bill Champlin, Peter Cetera]
Sonny, think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
And you don't know what to do
When it all comes down to you
[Verse 2: Bill Champlin]
If you're so afraid to be loved
Because you see too much
What a sad, sad story
But you brought it upon yourself (Self, self)
You gave it all up for fun
Now you got nowhere to run
With your sad, sad story
It's an age old story

[Pre-Chorus: Bill Champlin]
Every man will get his chance
To play the fool
Every time he takes his chances
And thinks he's cool (What could be a fool?)

[Chorus: All, Bill Champlin, Peter Cetera]
Sonny, think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
Sonny, think twice

[Bridge: Bill Champlin, All]
And now you don't know what to do
When it all comes down to you
Don't think that she don't care
'Bout your Saturday night affair
And you better watch out
Somebody is gonna be there
[Chorus: All, Bill Champlin, Peter Cetera]
Sonny, think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
And you don't know what to do
When it all comes down to you
Sonny, think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
And you don't know what to do
When it all comes down to you
