Fight It Out
Confronting Heartache: Pat Benatar's Call to Fight It Out
Lyrics
I heard you say you're feelin' like a change now
I heard you express a desire for change.
Maybe, baby this could be arranged now
Possibly, we can make arrangements for that change.
But I warn you that no exotic scenery
But be aware that no exotic location or setting will solve your problems or bring you ease.
Will solve your problems or make you feel easy
External circumstances won't provide true solutions or comfort.
You say you're happy, but I see apprehension
Although you claim to be happy, I sense a feeling of unease.
That little laugh of yours doesn't hide the tension
Your laughter doesn't effectively conceal the tension you're experiencing.
The precious book you clutch so tightly in your hands
The book you tightly hold won't bring you peace or clarity.
Won't help you sleep at night, won't iron out your plans
It won't help you sleep or straighten out your plans.
You gotta Fight It Out with your heart
You need to confront and resolve your inner conflicts with your heart.
You got to Fight It, though it tears you apart
You must face it, even if it causes emotional pain.
You got to Fight It Out, my friend
Confront your challenges, my friend.
You got to do it for yourself
Take action for yourself.
You got to say when
Know when to assert yourself.
You ask advice, then resent my observations
You seek advice but react negatively to my observations.
If I didn't care, then I wouldn't make them
If I didn't care, I wouldn't offer advice.
Can't change the past, so why let it haunt you
Don't let the past disturb you; it cannot be changed.
Can paint the future, but first you have to want to
You can shape the future, but the desire to do so must come from within.
You gotta Fight It Out with your heart
Confront your internal struggles with your heart.
You got to Fight It, though it tears you apart
Face it, even if it causes emotional pain.
You got to Fight It Out, my friend
Confront your challenges, my friend.
You got to do it for yourself
Take action for yourself.
You got to say when
Know when to assert yourself.
I can see how much you hurt inside
I can see the pain you're experiencing internally.
I know all about the tears you hide
I'm aware of the tears you hide.
You gotta Fight It Out with your heart
Confront your inner conflicts with your heart.
You got to Fight It, though it tears you apart
Face it, even if it causes emotional pain.
You got to Fight It Out, my friend
Confront your challenges, my friend.
You gotta Fight It Out with your heart
Confront your inner conflicts with your heart.
You got to Fight It, though it tears you apart
Face it, even if it causes emotional pain.
You got to Fight It Out, my friend
Confront your challenges, my friend.
