lyrics

This Is The Life That You Chose
(Morris)
You take the car the house and the money
Leave me my guitar my books and my clothes
Pack me a bag now I’m leaving you honey
Cos this is the life that you chose
And you got a nerve to think that it’s funny
But I’ll take my chances, see how it goes
Back to the wall so I’m leaving you honey
Cos this is the life that you chose
Tried to make you happy it just brought you down
You never had the sense
To keep your feet on the ground
Tried to please you baby but we couldn’t get on
So this is your choice I hope you like it alone
Well you take the car the house and the money
Leave me my guitar my books and my clothes
Pack me a bag now I’m leaving you honey
Cos this is the life that you chose
Tried to make it happen but you wouldn’t give in
You never had a reason you just had to win
You’ve made it easy baby
With the things that you’ve done
If this is your choice then I’m glad that I’ve gone
You take the car the house and the money
Leave me my guitar my books and my clothes
Pack me a bag now I’m leaving you honey
Cos this is the life that you chose
