[Intro: Nona Hendryx and Dolette McDonald?] (Okay, okay) It was my last attempt It was my last defense I didn't think I could ever do it Until I did it It was my last attempt It was my last defense I didn't think I could ever do it Until I did it [Verse 1: Jerry Harrison] If it was yesterday, or any other day I would've run away Playing dumb, I would've stayed away If it were afternoon, or night or day I would've run away, put things off And stayed away until another day (Be cool) [?] [Chorus: Nona Hendryx and Dolette McDonald?, Jerry Harrison] It was my last attempt (last attempt) It was my last defense (my last defense) I didn't think I could ever do it Until I did it (I didn't think I could do it) It was my last attempt (last attempt) It was my last defense (my last defense) I didn't think I could ever do it Until I did it (I didn't think I could do it) [Verse 2: Jerry Harrison] Sometimes you have to be Stretched to the wire Before you can untie your hands Before you move Sometimes the gun must be Held to your head When there's nothing left, when there's nothing left You can go ahead (Because) [Chorus: Nona Hendryx and Dolette McDonald?, Jerry Harrison] It was my last attempt (last attempt) It was my last defense (my last defense) I didn't think I could ever do it Until I did it (I didn't think I could do it) It was my last attempt (last attempt) It was my last defense (my last defense) I didn't think I could ever do it Until I did it [Verse 3: Jerry Harrison] Face the chair, firing squad Without the heat to bring you fear You never know What you can do [Bridge: Nona Hendryx and Dolette McDonald?] Keep me [?] going (la, la, la, la, okay) Keep me [?] going (la, la, la, la, okay) Keep me [?] going (la, la, la, la, okay) Keep me [?] going (la, la, la, la, okay) [Verse 4: Jerry Harrison, Nona Hendryx and Dolette McDonald?] So there's a way out of that corner you've painted yourself into And maybe you're just gonna have to dig that ditch a little bit deeper before you can get out of it Well, you just gotta stand up I mean, if you sit down all your life, what are you gonna do? I mean, you're just gonna have to climb up right over yourself and get out of there I mean, that mess you're in, you're just gonna have to get out of it You're gonna have to decide you're gonna do it You're gonna have to decide you wanna do it And then you're just gonna do it So, okay (okay) Alright, okay (okay) Okay (oh) [Outro: Nona Hendryx and Dolette McDonald?, Jerry Harrison] It was my last attempt It was my last defense I didn't think I could ever do it Until I did it It was my last attempt It was my last defense I didn't think I could ever do it Until I did it (I didn't think I could do it) It was my last attempt (last attempt) It was my last defense (last defense) I didn't think I could ever do it Until I did it (I didn't think I could do it) It was my last attempt (last attempt) It was my last defense (last defense) I didn't think I could ever do it Until I did it (I didn't think I could do it)
