(Intro: C)

Lyrics:

(C)
Not a day goes by 
       (D#)        (F)       (C)  (D#) (F)
That a man doesn't have to choose
(C)
Between what he wants
(D#)      (F)       (C)
What he's afraid to lose
                (F)
Along comes temptation
       (D#)    (C)
And he can't refuse, no
(G)                                        (D#) 
I know the different 'tween wrong and right
(F)                             (D#)          (C)
Don't make no difference in the middle of the night


(D#)     (C)
Take the bait
    (D#)    (C)
You pay the price
(D#)          (C)
It's much too late
(D#)     (C)
For good advice 
    (D#)       (C)           (D#)         (C)
You know and I know that our good things' through

(C)                          (D#)        (C)
Because there's consequences for what we do
(C)              (D#)   (C)
Consequences for me and you


(Same pattern as above)
I was smokin' and drinkin'
And thinkin' when you walked by
The next thing I knew
I was making up my alibi, yes I was

And all I've done since then
Is lie, lie, lie                            *** sounds too much like Clinton's sex scandal!***

I took my chances
Had a real good time
But I'd give my soul
For a little piece of mind

To tell the truth
Is a big mistake
Homes will crumble and hearts will break
Baby, why gamble when there's so much to lose

Because there's consequences for what we do
Consequences for me and you

(Cool drum roll)

(Awesome guitar solo)

Oh, listen baby
It's just common sense
Sooner or later
We're gonna suffer the consequences

To tell the truth
And pay the price
I did not listen to Mama's good advice
You know and I know that our good things' through

Because there's consequences for what we do
Consequences for me and you

Consequences of the things that we do
Consequences for me and you

Yeah
We're gonna have to pay the price, baby
Yeah
We're gonna suffer the consequences
Yeah
For hot lovin'
On the side
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Consequences, baby
Hot lovin' 
On the side
