It's up to You
Choices Unveiled: The Jayhawks' Candid Reflections
Lyrics
I heard you bragging 'bout the boys you took
I heard you boasting about the boys you were with
Are you a victim or a small-time crook
Are you a victim or involved in petty criminal activities?
Or just a little fool
Or perhaps just someone acting foolishly
You know, you know it's up to you
Regardless, the responsibility for your actions lies with you
You're no princess you're a prima donna
You're not a princess but a demanding and temperamental woman
Can't understand why the world wasn't handed to you
Unable to comprehend why life didn't unfold as you expected
You know, you know it's up to you
Nevertheless, the choices and outcomes are within your control
Yeah, when you're deep inside your head
When you're introspective or absorbed in your thoughts
Justify the blame
Finding reasons to shift blame onto others
Six green olives and a champagne basket
A metaphorical reference to an extravagant display involving olives and champagne
Paid the bill your boyfriend's plastic
Paying the bill with fake or insincere emotions
What a little fool
Characterizing someone as a foolish individual
Takes one to get to two
Understanding that it takes one person to initiate a relationship or action
Yeah, when you're deep inside your head
Reiteration of being deep in one's thoughts and justifying blame
Justify the blame
Repeating the theme of finding reasons to assign blame
Stirring a tin cup with a silver spoon
Engaging in a seemingly contradictory or mismatched situation
Tell me honey, who is possessing who
Pondering the dynamics of a relationship, questioning who has control
You know, you know it's up to you
Emphasizing that the ultimate decisions are in the individual's hands
You know, you know it's up to you
Reiteration of the idea that personal choices shape outcomes
