Are You Sure - Randy Crawford

Look around you Look down the bar from you At the faces that you see Are you sure this is where you want to be? These are your friends But are they real friends? Do they love you as much as me? Are you sure this is where you want to be? You seem in such a hurry to live this kind of live And you've cause so many pain and misery But look around you, take a good look Just between you and me Are you sure that this is where you want to be? Please don't let my tears persuade you I had hoped I wouldn't cry But lately, teardrops seem a part of me But look around you And take a good look At all the locals used-to-be's And are you sure that this is where you want to be?

I had this nightmare You woke up one morning and changed your mind I have irrational fears we've talked over a 100 times I love you carefully, cautious of how deeply I dive Though I know you mean it It's hard to believe that you're on my side So drive slow when I'm sitting shotgun Dive slow into new things There's pain that I learned a lot from I'll help you if you help me I get so caught in the moment And I jump ahead of myself When you say you can't see yourself with anyone else Are you sure? Are you sure? 'Cause I don't want to let you down This might hurt, this might hurt 'Cause we're so high off the ground So drive slow when I'm sitting shotgun Dive slow into new things There's pain that I learned a lot from I'll help you if you help me Drive slow when I'm sitting shotgun Dive slow into new things There's pain that I learned a lot from I'll help you if you help me I'm wide awake, even it's three in the morning You're asleep, oh I have irrational fears we've fought about on repeat 'Cause I'm not used to people saying what they mean It's all I want, so don't give up on me, whoa Just drive slow when I'm sitting shotgun Dive slow into new things There's pain that I learned a lot from I'll help you if you help me I get so caught in the moment And I jump ahead of myself When you say you can't see yourself with anyone else Are you sure? Are you sure? 'Cause I don't want to let you down This might hurt, this might hurt 'Cause we're so high off the ground So drive slow when I'm sitting shotgun Dive slow into new things There's pain that I learned a lot from I'll help you if you help me So drive slow when I'm sitting shotgun Dive slow into new things There's pain that I learned a lot from I'll help you if you help me Drive slow when I'm sitting shotgun (oh) Dive slow into new things (I don't want to let you down) Drive slow when I'm sitting shotgun (this might hurt, this might hurt) Dive slow into new things ('cause we're so high off the ground) This might hurt, this might hurt 'Cause we're so high off the ground I had this nightmare You woke up one morning and changed your mind But my love is blind Are you sure?

Try to live a life that's pure Try to open up the door Try so hard but am I Ever sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Want to know more than the cure Want a problem to endure Want the remedy but Am I sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Waste a little time Confidence unwinds Feel it in my spine Certainty is mine Are you sure?

Are you sure there's nothing you can do To help someone worse off than you? Think before you answer, are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure it'll be a waste of time To stop and let your love light shine? Think before you answer, are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure that it will be in vain To show some love for your fellow man? Think before you answer, are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Think about it and be sure Are you sure? Are you sure that it's not your place To help someone whose lost their way? Think before you answer, are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure it's not your concern When you see a neighbor's home is burned? Think before you answer, are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure that I will still be down When you've realized that you've been blind Think before you answer, are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Think about it and be sure Please, please, please be sure Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? ...

Memories serve, only to show What came before, wouldn't have grown Maybe the past, has brought me to this Maybe this time, love will be missed I hear my heart calling for you And I believe you feel it too I want something permanent, like the stars in the sky Permanent, like the mountain high Permanent, as time goes by, I want something I can count on Permanent, like the sun and the rain Permanent, like a burning flame Permanent, I'll say it again I want something that won't change Respecting yourself, reaching down deep That's how I'll find, a love so complete It became clear, the very, very first time It's more than a dream, that you could be mine I hear my heart calling for you and I believe you feel it, too I want something permanent, like the stars in the sky Permanent, like the mountain high Permanent, as time goes by, I want something I can count on Permanent, like the sun and the rain Permanent, like a burning flame Permanent, I'll say it again, say it again, say it again I want something that will never change What's my only way, I could never say that I don't feel the same You've brought me somewhere I can feel safe Don't you feel it, don't you feel it I want something, say it again, say it again Like the stars in the sky Like the mountain high, as time goes by I want something that will never change I can count on, like the stars in the sky Permanent I'll say it again, I want something that will never change I want something permanent, yes I do Permanent, yes I do, gonna say it again, say it again Permanent, like a burning flame, like the sun and rain I want something that won't change

No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets All the things That went wrong For at last I have learned to be strong No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets For the grief doesn't last It is gone I've forgotten the past And the memories I had I no longer desire Both the good and the bad I have flung in a fire And I feel in my heart That the seed has been sown It is something quite new It's like nothing I've known No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets All the things that went wrong For at last I have learned to be strong No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets For the seed that is new It's the love that is growing for you

What's it all about, Alfie Is it just for the moment we live What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie Are we meant to take more than we give Or are we meant to be kind And if only fools are kind, Alfie Then I guess it is wise to be cruel And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie What will you lend on an old golden rule As sure as I believe There's a heaven above, Alfie, I know there's something much more Something even non-believers can believe in I believe in love, Alfie Without true love we just exist, Alfie Until you find the love you've missed, you're nothing, Alfie When you walk, let your heart lead the way And you'll find love any day, Alfie Alfie
