Songs about people making choices

[Minimoto]

Anybody know any songs, preferably rather light-hearted, about making choices, decisions?

[NS]

what kind of decision?

[Warlike Swans]

You could try "should I stay or should i go" by the clash

[Minimoto]

what kind of decision?

Any really. How they live their lives, what food to eat, what school to go, who to go out with, etc.

'You Can't Always Get What You Want' by the Rolling Stones maybe

The most obvious one would be The Lovin' Spoonful's "Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind?"

Somewhat subtler is Glenn Yarbrough's "Baby, The Rain Must Fall" in which he sings of going where his heart leads regardless of the uncertainties ahead.

"Solitary Man" by Neil Diamond is the song of a man still willing to give love a try, but very discouraged and not sure whether he's going to take the plunge again after so many disappointments.

The Cardigans' "Erase And Rewind" throws in a kind of technical element, with the singer saying she's changed her mind and wants to go back and change past decisions. (Since this was the song in the credits of the movie The 13th Floor, this was actually presented as a very real possibility for some people.)

Michael Damien's "Rock On" includes this line: "Where do we go from here?/Which is the way that's clear?"

Ten Years After's "I'd Love To Change The World" has the singer fretting over wanting to fix the world's problems, but not being quite sure where to start. Then he turns it back on the listener and says "I'm leaving it up to you."

"Hard Candy Christmas" as sung by Dolly Parton has the singer discussing all kinds of possibilities for what she'll do with herself without ever really deciding on any of them, however.

There's also the Dale & Grace song "I'm Leaving It All Up To You" (and several popular covers of it) for which the title is pretty self-explanatory: the girl asks the guy to make up his mind whether he wants her or not.

The Lovin' Spoonful's "Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind?" is literally perfect. Thank you so much. But I''ll make sure to check the rest too.
