I've never known how far it's gone,
I didn't even try to hold on,
So many faces, all I need,
Why do I have to beg and plead'
Not to mention mass deception,
How do I have to get your attention'
I got your number, don't even bother,
You've gotta serve just one or the other.

Give me an answer now,
Yeah, you're taking your chances down.

No mistaking, it's hard to keep shaking it,
I know this town is a bad, bad scene,
Walk that line, waste no time,
I know that then you'll be doing fine,
You've gotta take a hold of my hand, and I'll show you just what to do,
Nothing to lose, the world to gain,
Never gonna play their game.

Give me an answer now,
Yeah, you're taking your chances down,
Better give me an answer now,
Yeah, you're taking your chances down.

Sometimes life can sting, I think you know what I mean,
Ain't gonna take it anymore,
I'm tired of lies and the compromise,
I think we should throw it out the door,
I keep persisting, you keep resisting, well, it's gonna have to end,
Now your out of slack, you better face the facts,
Well it's time to make amends.

Give me an answer now,
Yeah, you're taking your chances down,
Better give me an answer now,
Yeah, you're taking your chances down.
