I want to help you make the right decision
Choose the right way
I’ve been around the block a couple of times more than you
You could benefit from what I know

I will gladly listen to you
But the final decision will be mine
I’m responsible for myself
And the things I decide

Yes, but what about experience?
I can assure you I know the best way
It’s so obvious to me
How could you choose another way?

In this case, we can agree to disagree
I’ve given this some thought and I’m the one
Who has to live with the consequences of my decision
And with that I’m fine

But, but… I can save you so much trouble
Why go down the wrong path
And then turn around?

Well, I think you are assuming you know the right way
And I can see that you’re concerned

But if I’m going down the wrong road
It’s for me to find out
I’m thankful for your concern
But this is something I will decide
