To tell the truth
Yeah
Consequences, baby
Tell the truth
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
But I'd give my soul for a little piece of mind
And all I've done since then
Oh, listen baby
I was smokin' and drinkin'
On the side
You know and I know
Is lie, lie, lie
The next thing I knew
For hot lovin'
Consequences for me and you
Don't make no difference in the middle of the night
And he can't refuse, no
We're gonna suffer the consequences
Because there's consequences for what we do
Sooner or later
I know the difference 'tween wrong and right
You know and I know that our good thing's through
I was making up my alibi, yes I was
And pay the price
I did not listen to Mama's good advice
Consequences for me and you
I took my chances had a real good time
Because there's consequences for what we do
We're gonna have to pay the price, baby
We're gonna suffer the consequences
That our good thing's through
Consequences for me and you, yeah
Along comes temptation
Take the bait, you pay the price
Yeah, yeah
Because there's consequences for what we do
It's just common sense
Homes will crumble and hearts will break
Consequences for me and you
Is a big mistake
Baby, why gamble when there's so much to lose?
Between what he wants
What he's afraid to lose
Hot lovin'
It's much too late for good advice
Yeah
Consequences of the things that we do
And thinkin' when you walked by
