Consequences Joan Armatrading

I see your message on the whiteboard
I got your telephone call
When you decide on your choices
Think of the consequences
Think of the consequences

(I know, I know)
I know you're testing all the boundaries (A little bit me, a little bit you)
I see your crocodile tears (Playing games)
(I know, I know)
I'm gonna keep throwing up shots (Don't wanna lose this)
At the consequences (Beautiful love we found)
(And if I can)
Consequences
I'd take away all the pain and the hurt I've caused you
I know, I know
You wanna do the same 'cause you want things right again

Finger-pointing is aggressive
I'm no angel, I know
But don't just follow your impulses
Actions have a voice that cries out
Just tell me what you want me to know

(I know, I know)
In the end, we will better (A little bit me, a little bit you)
If we can sit and talk (Playing games)
(I know, I know)
No retribution (Don't wanna lose this)
The past has a part to play and (Beautiful love we found)
(And if I can) Decisions we make today we (I'd take away all the)
Can't know the consequences (Pain and the hurt I've caused you)
(I know, I know)
The consequences
You wanna do the same 'cause you want things right again
