if it were left up to me

Singer:sly & the family stone

if it were left up to me

it would take more than a notion

if it were left up to me

we could put ideas in motion

had it been left up to you

would you try

would you try

if it were left up to me

i would try

if it were left up to me

we would live in a bubble

if it were left up to me or you

we would stay out of trouble

but it's the way that they do

makes you cry

makes you cry

and still it's left up to you

got to try

if it were left up to you

would you sigh and forget it

and get some sleeping to see

if you live to regret it

now that it's left up to me and you

will you try

will you try

i promise from me to you i will try

i promise from me to you i will try
