Lyrics

Who’s gon na tell you when

it’s (C)too late?

Who’s gon na tell you things

You can’t go on

What now?

Who’s gon na drive you home

to night?

Who’s gon na pick you up

when (C)you fall?

Who’s gon na hang it up

when you call?

Who’s gon na pay at ten tion

to (C)your dreams?

And who’s gon na plug their ears

when (C)you scream?

You can’t go on

think ing

noth ing’s (D)wrong.

What now?

Who’s gon na drive you home

to night?

Oh,

you know you can’t go (D)on

think ing

noth ing’s wrong.

Who’s gon na drive you home

to night?
