Lyrics

ANALYSIS PARALYSIS
By Randy Bishop (ASCAP), Copyright 2005


I'm a laid back guy, like to shoot from the hip
Maybe I'm impulsive, but I like to let 'er rip
Don't have to wait to make up my mind
Don't really get nervous, and I'm always ready to start
But when it comes to, affairs of the heart

Chorus:
I get analysis paralysis when it comes to you
I'm over analyzing everything I want to do
I want to pop the question
But when I think it through?
My friends all say I'm a fool to get hitched
But women say that marriage is bliss
Statistics say we'll never make it through this
What am I gonna do about you

Last Chorus:
No more analysis paralysis when it comes to you
No over analyzing everything I want to do
I know I love you
There's no need to think it through
I know exactly what it is I want to do

I like to go on the fly, don't like to over-think
Too much deliberation, can drive a man to drink
Yeah, life's too short to take too long
So I rely on my instincts, they've always been true
But when I try to, propose to you

Bridge:
Here Comes the Bride makes me break out in hives
And Wedding Bell Blues makes me worry
I'm allergic to rice, so before I think twice
Better get down that aisle in a hurry

Last stanza of Chorus II:
I start to worry about the pros and the cons
Can I really teach our kids right from wrong
Are you really gonna look like your Mom
What am I gonna do about you

Last stanza of Chorus III:
You must really think I'm a fool
There'll never be another woman like you
I know exactly what I want to do
I'm gonna marry you
