Have a Word With Yourself

Have 
a 
word 
with 
yourself 
you 
could 
do 
with 
a 
mate,
Have 
a 
word 
with 
yourself 
girl 
before 
it's 
too 
late,
Ya 
having 
a 
baby 
'n' 
cutting 
no 
slack,
Ya 
having 
a 
baby 
addicted 
to 
Crack,
The 
why's  
and 
the 
wherefores 
they've 
long 
passed 
ya 
by,
You 
could 
drown 
in 
the 
tears 
that 
crocodiles 
cry,
If 
only 
you'd 
listened 
when 
you 
could 
still 
hear,
Ya 
mightn't 
have 
spent 
twenty 
years 
hooked 
on 
gear,
Scrimping 
'n' 
saving 
all 
to 
no 
avail,
The 
low-
lives 
'n' 
flick 
knives 
the 
harsh 
sex-
for-
sale,
Have 
a 
word 
with 
yourself 
'n' 
decide 
where 
ya 
bound,
Its 
the 
whole 
of 
ya 
life 
or 
the 
hole 
in 
the 
ground,
Not 
much 
of 
a 
difficult 
option 
to 
choose,
'Tween 
the 
life 
that 
ya 
live 
and  
the 
drugs 
that 
ya 
use,
See 
it's 
time 
to 
start 
living 
get 
down 
off 
the 
shelf,
Do 
something 
and 
fast,have 
a 
word 
with 
yourself.
