Be Careful

All the girls in the Paris night All the girls in the pale moonlight All the girls with a shoppin' bags All the girls with the washin' rags All the girls on the telephone All the girls standin' all alone All the girls sittin' on the wire Who one by one fly into the fire Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me All the girls standin' by your beds All the girls standin' on their heads All the girls with the broken arms All the girls with the deadly charms All the girls in the restaurants Pretending to be nonchalant Funny girls on the T.V. shows Close your eyes and they've turned to snow Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me All the girls workin' overtime Tellin' you everything is fine All the girls in the beauty shops Girls tongues catchin' the raindrops All the girls that you'll never see Forever a mystery All the girls with their secret ways All the girls who have gone astray Be careful how you bend me Be careful where you send me Careful how you end me Be careful with me Be careful how you end me Be careful with me --- Be Careful - Patty Griffin
