Lyrics Bettye Lavette

Bettye Lavette

Choices

I've had choices since the day I was born

There were voices that told me right from wrong

If I only listened, no I wouldn't be here today

Living and dying with the choices I've made

I was tempted, by an early age I found

I liked drinkin', oh, and I never turned it down

There were loved ones but I turned them all away

Now I'm living and dying with the choices I've made

I guess I'm payin' for all the things I've done

If I could just go back, oh, Lord knows I'd run

But I'm still here losin' this game of life I play

Losing and dying with the choices I've made

I've had choices ever since the day I was born

I have my own voices that told me right from wrong

If I had listened, no I wouldn't be sitting here today

Living and dying with the choices I've made
