Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind

Lovin' Spoonful

Did you ever have to make up your mind?


Pick up on one and leave the other one behind


It's not often easy, and not often kind


Did you ever have to make up your mind?





Did you ever have to finally decide?


Say yes to one and let the other one ride


There's so many changes, and tears you must hide


Did you ever have to finally decide?





Sometimes there's one with deep blue eyes, cute as a bunny


With hair down to here, and plenty of money


And just when you think she's that one in the world


Your heart gets stolen by some mousy little girl


And then you know you better make up your mind


Pick up on one and leave the other one behind


It's not often easy, and not often kind


Did you ever have to make up your mind?





Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her


And then you get distracted by her older sister


When in walks her father and takes you in line


And says "Better go home, son, and make up your mind."


Then you bet you'd better finally decide!


And say yes to one and let the other one ride


There's so many changes, and tears you must hide


Did you ever have to finally decide?
