Since I was young I've been very hard to please And I don't know wrong from right But there is one thing I could never understand Some of the sick things that a girl does to a man so I'm just sittin' on a fence you can say I got no sense  Tryin' to make up my mind really is too hard a bind        So I'm sittin' on a fence All of my friends at school grew up and settled down Then they mortgaged up their lives  When things got set too much but I think it's true They just get married 'cause they've nothing else to do so I'm just sittin' on a fence you can say I got no sense  Tryin' to make up my mind really is too hard a bind        So I'm sittin' on a fence The day can come when you get old and sick and tired of life You just never rea-lise   Maybe the choice you made wasn't really right But you go out and you don't come back at night so I'm just sittin' on a fence you can say I got no sense  Tryin' to make up my mind really is too hard a bind        So I'm sittin' on a fence

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les dilemmes et les incertitudes de la vie, notamment en ce qui concerne les relations amoureuses et le choix de s'engager. Le narrateur se sent tiraillé, incapable de décider entre différentes voies, et observe ses amis qui, eux, ont choisi de se marier souvent par convention plutôt que par véritable désir. Il réfléchit aussi à la vie qui passe et aux décisions parfois regrettées, soulignant le sentiment de stagnation et d'indécision qui l’accompagne. Cela nous rappelle que les choix de vie ne sont pas toujours aussi simples qu'ils semblent.
