when he walked in the apartment
She was hungry... she was cold
When I overheard the argument
It was half a minute old

With his finger on the trigger
And an aim as true as Capone
"You better love me like you did... It's do or die"
You better hurry, hurry!

CHORUS
Make Up Your Mind Paula
Make Up Your Mind Paula
Paula, make up your mind

Guaranteed to penetrate your mind
'Til he gets beneath your skin
She is juvenile and genuine
Notify your next of kin!

Common sense and social standards
Predetermined her reply
"You better love me like you did... It's do or die"
you better hurry, hurry!

CHORUS
Make Up Your Mind Paula
Make Up Your Mind Paula
Paula, make up...

BRIDGE
...Your mind for the two of us
...Your mind for the two of us
And I heard him say,
"You better love me like you did... It's do or die"
You better hurry, hurry!
