Be Careful - Peter Cincotti

Her name was Juliet

Some girl that I just met

For dinner at this place on Lafayette

When it was time to go

She gets the check and grabs my coat

And then she tells me

Now I’ll walk you home

Well I’m not liking what I hear

And what kind of hemisphere

Do the lions all get lead around by deer

You gotta be careful

Foolin' with nature

'cause pretty soon nature

Will start foolin' with you

He took a mouthfull

Of a little red apple

But that mouthfull

Was a little too much to chew

I like equality

But if you’re tellin' me

That equal means the same I disagree

Girls are sugar

Boys are spice

Mix 'em up, you pay the price

Never thinkin' what you sacrificed

And now it’s just too late

So how can you complain

That every Tarzan in the jungle acts like Jane

You gotta be careful

Foolin' with nature

'cause pretty soon nature

Will start foolin' with you

He took a mouthfull

Of a little red apple

But that mouthfull

Was a little too much to chew

My apologies to all concerned

But it’s a lesson every child has learned

If you play with fire your fingers might get burned

So let me get the door

And let me keep you warm

Why take less of me when I could give you more

You gotta be careful

Foolin' with nature

'cause pretty soon nature

Will start foolin' with you

So make me work harder

At gettin' you closer

'cause the harder I’m workin'

The better you’ll do
