My dear you cannot go your way and leave your love behind
For that's a game that two can play and very soon you'll find
If I must toe the mark then you must walk the line
If I can't play around you can't step out and shine
I'll tell you now because a stitch in time saves nine
If I must toe the mark then you must walk the line
This little game of love sweetheart has rules you know for two
And what you think applies to me is good enough for you
If I must toe the mark then you must walk the line
If I can't play around you can't step out and shine
I'll tell you now because a stitch in time saves nine
If I must toe the mark then you must walk the line
The golden rule is good enough now that I can't deny
But you just try to strut your stuff and watch my colors fly
If I must toe the mark then you must walk the line
If I can't play around you can't step out and shine
I'll tell you now because a stitch in time saves nine
If I must toe the mark then you must walk the line
If I must toe the mark then you must walk the line
If I can't play around you can't step out and shine
I'll tell you now because a stitch in time saves nine
If I must toe the mark then you must walk the line
