Lyrics
(1st Verse)
You've got a decision to make, do you wanna stay with me? But beware of the mistake cause if you leave it's a memory. You say you're tired of my doin's, you say I run the show. I know you don't like my attitude, so whatcha gonna do, what are you going to do?
*(Chorus)
The door swings both ways, is it in or is it out? Make up your mind, make it today, cause this isn't what loves about.
The door swings both ways. Both ways!
(2nd Verse)
You scream at the top of your lungs, I'm sure the world can hear you. You shoot your mouth like guns, now did you get your message through? I've done all I could do, you say it's not enough. So what am I supposed to do? I haven't got a clue. Let me tell you. *
(Bridge)
Do you wanna stay? Do you wanna go? Do you want us to fade? Do you want us to grow? Do you feel like it's gone, like it's been thrown away? Baby make up your mind, the door swings both ways.
(3rd Verse)
I've given you all I can give, I gave you my heart and soul. You question does it all still live, or can't I keep it in control? I'm convinced that you don't trust me, you don't believe my words. You're accusing me of a liar. If you can't take anymore, then let me show you the door! *
