Consequences Lyrics - Singles - Robert Cray

Not a day goes by 

That a man doesn't have to choose 

Between what he wants 

What he's afraid to lose 

Along comes temptation 

And he can't refuse, no 

I know the different 'tween wrong and right 

Don't make no difference in the middle of the night 

Take the bait 

You pay the price 

It's much too late 

For good advice 

You know and I know that our good things' through 

Because there's consequences for what we do 

Consequences for me and you 

I was smokin' and drinkin' 

And thinkin' when you walked by 

The next thing I knew 

I was making up my alibi, yes I was 

And all I've done since then 

Is lie, lie, lie 

I took my chances 

Had a real good time 

But I'd give my soul 

For a little piece of mind 

To tell the truth 

Is a big mistake 

Homes will crumble and hearts will break 

Baby, why gamble when there's so much to lose 

Because there's consequences for what we do 

Consequences for me and you 

Oh, listen baby 

It's just common sense 

Sooner or later 

We're gonna suffer the consequences 

To tell the truth 

And pay the price 

I did not listen to Mama's good advice 

You know and I know that our good things' through 

Because there's consequences for what we do 

Consequences for me and you 

Consequences of the things that we do 

Consequences for me and you 

Yeah 

We're gonna have to pay the price, baby 

Yeah 

We're gonna suffer the consequences 

Yeah 

For hot lovin' 

On the side 

Yeah 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah 

Consequences, baby 

Hot lovin' 

On the side
