Think About It by Otis Redding Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wait!
Before you walk out that door
Hang your clothes in the closet
You're forgetting one thing
I'm the one who saved you
From a long lonely life
I'm the one who gave you
Your first taste to paradise

[Pre-Chorus]
Look how you're paying me back
Look how you're turnin' your back
Please, don't do me like this, honey
All this good love you're gonna miss

[Chorus]
Think about it, honey
You really ought to think about it 'fore you leave me
Dig this
[Verse 2]
I'm the one who showed you
How to live when you wanted to die
I'm the one who taught you
How to laugh when you wanted to cry

[Pre-Chorus]
But look what you're doing to me
Look how you're hurting me
Please don't do me like this
All of this good lovin' you're gonna miss

[Chorus]
Think about it, baby, listen
You really, really ought to think about it 'fore you leave
You really ought to think about it
Deep down think about it 'fore you leave me

[Bridge]
Do this for me, honey
Don't make me no lonely man
Don't try to push me out of your plan
Don't try to kick our love aside
Just wait before you tell me goodbye
Mhm, yeah
[Outro]
You really, really, really, really, really ought to think about it
How I give
You really, really, really ought to think about it
How I live
One million times, I sat up, stayed up all night
