Don't Be Careless Love - Paul McCartney

Burn the midnight lamp

Down until the dawn,

I`ll keep watch until I`m sure you`re coming home.

Shadows play and flicker on the bedroom wall

They turn into a bad dream overnight,

Something could be terribly wrong.

Don`t be careless love,

Don`t be careless love,

Don`t be, don`t be careless.

In my dream you`re running nowhere

Every step you`ve taken turns to glue,

Walking down a spiral staircase

Falling through, falling through,

Don`t be careless love,

Be careless love.

The lamp burns down and out

I`m getting pretty tired of this,

I feel so bad something might be going amiss,

I won`t be there so look out for yourself

You`re getting in deep whatever you do,

Don`t let me go back to sleep,

Don`t be careless love,

Don`t be careless love,

Don`t be, don`t be careless.

Saw your face in the morning paper,

Saw your body rolled up in a rug

Chopped up into two little pieces

By some thug,

Don`t be careless love,

Be careless love.

But in the morning light

When I wake up again

You`re by my side and that`s the way it`s always been,

But in the dark your mind plays funny tricks on you,

Your mind plays funny tricks on you,

Your mind plays funny tricks on you,

Don`t be careless love.
