She says her mind is made up
She's fought the feelin's long enough
She can't find love or herself in her heart
Says, "We got together way too young"
An' then there's me here still in love
Watchin' the ties that bind us fallin' apartFirst she asks for freedom an' she says that she's leavin'
I say no 'cause I need her, then down comes the hammer
When I can't take her, I say I'll sign the papers
She cries an' she won't take yes for an answer
How am I supposed to choose
When it's heads she wins, tails I lose, yeahShe bought some little dresses an' got a big tattoo
Says, "I don't understand what she's goin' through"
Maybe middle-age crazy or just tired of us
An' maybe I'm foolish tryin' to make it work
But I made this promise for better or worse
An' I'd do anything to make her happy, if I just knew what it wasFirst she asks for freedom an' she says that she's leavin'
I say no 'cause I need her, then down comes the hammer
When I can't take her, I say I'll sign the papers
She cries an' she won't take yes for an answer
How am I supposed to choose
When it's heads she wins, tails I loseI've worked so hard
(He's worked so hard)
Tried so long
It's like everything I do is wrongFirst she asks for freedom an' she says that she's leavin'
I say no 'cause I need her, then down comes the hammer
When I can't take her, I say I'll sign the papers
She cries an' she won't take yes for an answer
How am I supposed to choose
When it's heads she wins, tails I loseHow am I supposed to choose
When it's heads she wins, tails I loseEither way I lose, oh
