Thinkin' It Over Songtext
von John Entwistle

Whatcha gonna do when your wife finds another
Takes the kids and the car and half of the house?
Whatcha gonna do, move in with your mother
And spend your time looking to find a new spouse?

Thinkin′ it over, it ain't worth the worry
Start an offer to make a new life
Thinkin′ it over, I decided not to bother
I decided to take my own life

I'm on the ledge outside my window
The ground is ten stories below
As I look down, the crowd look up
Wondering whether I'll jump or not


Whatcha gonna do, disappoint all those people
Or make a splash in the headlines next day?
Whatcha gonna do, waste the time of those policemen
Or let your audience have their own way?

Thinkin′ it over, I decided not to bother
I decided to take my own life
Thinkin′ it over, it ain't worth the worry
I decided to take my own life

Whatcha gonna do, disappoint all those people
Or make a splash in the headlines next day?
Whatcha gonna do, waste the time of those policemen
Or let your audience have their own way?

Thinkin′ it over, I decided not to bother
I decided to save my own life
Thinkin' it over, I decided not to bother
It′s too high a price to pay for an unfaithful wife
