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
