Lyrics
Choose Your Destination
Too many cooks spoil the broth
And too many lovers are like flames to a moth
I've been good to you, now you be good to me
It's breakin me up baby can't you see
That I'm your one ticket baby there ain't no one else
Come with me or get left on the shelf
Cause we're pickin up speed and moving out of the station
You've got 3 seconds left to choose your destination
One and one don't make three
You better make a choice between her and me
The time is right for you to get on board
We're going places baby we ain't never explored
And I'm your one ticket baby there ain't no one else
Come with me or get left on the shelf
Cause we're pickin up speed and moving out of the station
You got 3 seconds left to choose your destination
You know that a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush
You know I love you baby but I ain't gonna push
Now the time is right for you to get on track
We're going places baby you won't wanna come back
Cause I'm your one ticket baby there ain't no one else
Come with me or get left on the shelf
Cause we're pickin up speed and moving out of the station
You got 3 seconds left to choose your destination
Ad lib
You got 3 seconds left
You got 2 seconds left
You got 1 second left to choose your destination
