You Do Or You Don't Lyrics - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

YOU DO OR YOU DON'T 

(Robert Berry) 

Have we been pretending we live this street life 

Ones the tough ones thinking now we've grown 

You say the feelings are changing now with every night 

Don't know where a lonely rebel goes 

On the other side you found something different 

The other side of life you say you've never known 

But either you do or you don't, girl, can't you tell me? 

Either you will or you won't, gotta make up your mind 

You either go or you stay, there ain't no pretending 

We've gotta do it together and keep our love alive 

Keep turning back the pages, pictures of a time that kept us strong 

Pieces of a life that we gave meaning 

How can you wonder if those days are gone 

But the other side you heard the minds rest easy 

The other side of life you say you need to know 

But either you do or you don't, girl, can't you tell me? 

Either you will or you won't, gotta make up your mind 

You either go or you stay, there ain't no pretending 

We've gotta do it together and keep our love alive 

Can you just give up what your heart still tells you 

Oh, the very things that kept our hopes alive 

But the other side you say that we could make it 

Oh, the other side of life will keep us both alive 

Oh but either you do or you don't, girl, can't you tell me? 

Either you will or you won't, gotta make up your mind 

You either go or you stay, there ain't no pretending 

We've gotta do it together and keep our love alive 

Oh but either you do or you don't, girl, can't you tell me? 

Either you will or you won't, girl gotta make up your mind 

You either go or you stay, there ain't no pretending 

We've gotta do it together and keep our love alive, oh, oh, oh
