I've never known how far it's gone
I didn't even try to hold on
So many faces, all I need
Why do I have to beg and plead?

Not to mention, mass deception
How do I have to get your attention?
I got your number, don't even bother
You've gotta serve just one or the other

Give me an answer now
Yeah, you're taking your chances down

No mistaking, it's hard to keep shaking it
I know this town is a bad, bad scene
Walk that line, waste no time
I know that then you'll be doing fine

You've gotta take a hold of my hand
And I'll show you just what to do
Nothing to lose, the world to gain
Never gonna play their game

Give me an answer now
Yeah, you're taking your chances down
Better give me an answer now
Yeah, you're taking your chances down

Sometimes life can sting
I think you know what I mean
Ain't gonna take it anymore
I'm tired of lies and the compromise
I think we should throw it out the door
I keep persisting, you keep resisting
Well, it's gonna have to end
Now your out of slack, you better face the facts
Well, it's time to make amends

Give me an answer now
Yeah, you're taking your chances down
Better give me an answer now
Yeah, you're taking your chances down
