Sooner or later
It's somethin' you gotta do
Baby it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Lately it's up to you
Who's gonna help you through
Every now and then
Trying to pretend
I don't wanna see you
Sorry but that ain't true
Baby it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Lately it's up to you
Who's gonna see you through
Every now and then
Trying to pretend
I don't wanna see you
Sorry but that ain't true
Baby it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Lately it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Baby it's up to you (Baby it's up to you)
Baby it's up to you (Baby it's up to you)
Baby it's up to you
Who's gonna help you through
