[Verse 1]
It's so hard, to be in love with ya best friend
Cause the time is gonna come when you have to be my lover oh my friend
Well that's my opinion, about your future, girl
No I can't, no I can't, no I can't tell you what you've got to do (what you've got to do)
Your future's not mine... it belongs to you
But above all else be true to yourself and do what you gotta do
[Bridge]
I need you now
No, no, no (I can't say, I can't say)
No, no, no (I can't say, I can't say)
No, no, no (I can't say, I can't say)
No, no, no
[Chorus 2x]
I can't tell ya, how to run your life lady
I can't tell ya, how to run your life, girl
[Verse 2]
I don't ever, want to mislead the girl I love
Cause it's hard, it's so hard, it's so hard not to be so selfish with ya girl (so selfish with my love)
I'm not sure, what you're looking for
But baby, baby, baby, I've got a lot to give (I got a lot to give)
I want you right here.... yeah, yeah, yeah
When you ask me what I want to do, I can tell you what I want from you
[Bridge]
I need you now
No, no, no (I can't say, I can't say)
No, no, no (ohhhh nooo)
No, no, no (I can't say, I can't say)
No, no, no (look, I just can't tell ya baby yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
I can't tell ya, how to run your life lady
I can't tell ya, how to run your life, girl
I can't tell ya, how to run your life lady
[Verse 3]
So baby, baby....this is my guidance girl
It's your life, it's your life, it's your life and so do what you want to do (do what you wanna do)
If you listen, to what I have to say
I'm gonna take, I'm gonna take all your chances away (all your chances away)
Girl make your choice, without any help from me
Cause all I want is you to be, where you want to be
[Bridge]

I can't tell ya, how to run your life baby
I can't tell ya, how to run your life, girl
I can't tell ya, how to run your life lady
