(原詩)

Give me the proof that I need
I hear your warnin'
And I'm about to heed
Just let me know
What you're sayin' is real
Try to imagine just how I feel
If it's life we're talkin' 'bout
I don't want there to be no doubt
So just give me the proof that I need

I guess you know by now
You done planted a seed
But a seed need lots of
Light and time to grow
So if you've got proof positive
Be sure to let me know
Lord knows I'm tryin' to do right
So brighten up the guiding light

When you give me the proof
Just make sure it's the truth
Then go ahead,
Give me the proof that I need

(interlude)

When you give me the proof
Just make sure it's the truth
Then go ahead,
Give me the proof that I need

Sittin' on a fence just ain't no fun
Make me notice there's a smilin' face
On each and every one
If I was absolutely sure
Of what I'm gonna do
I'd put my plans in action
And immediately pursue
Some decisions are hard to make
You got to live with your mistakes

When you give me the proof
Just make sure it's the truth
Then go ahead,
Give me the proof that I need

(Give me the proof (repeat))
Give me the proof that I need now
I hear your warnin',
I'm about to heed
Give me the proof, hey
Give me the proof, hey
I got to have it
I got to have the proof
That I need, child
I hear your warning',
I'm about to heed now
