Time to make a change
Time to rearrange
Sooner or later
It's somethin' you gotta do

Baby it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Lately it's up to you
Who's gonna help you through

Every now and then
Trying to pretend
I don't wanna see you
Sorry but that ain't true

Baby it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Lately it's up to you
Who's gonna see you through

Every now and then
Trying to pretend
I don't wanna see you
Sorry but that ain't true

Baby it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Lately it's up to you
What are you gonna do

Baby it's up to you (Baby it's up to you)
Baby it's up to you (Baby it's up to you)
Baby it's up to you
Who's gonna help you through

Highway Highlight (from the box set booklet)
Beckley shows off his pop-rock skills yet again on "Baby It's Up To You," a genial tune with a thoughtful lyric. "It didn't come out of any personal experience," Beckley admits. "I'm playing electric 12-string on that. I was starting to show another side of my writing: up-tempo songs with more guitar strumming, rather than piano-based ballads."
