PATTY GRIFFIN LYRICS - Be Careful

"Be Careful"



All the girls in the Paris night

All the girls in the pale moonlight

All the girls with the shopping bags

All the girls with the washing rags



All the girls on the telephone

All the girls standing all alone

All the girls sitting on the wire

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 standing by your beds

All the girls standing on their heads

All the girls with the broken arms

All the girls with the deadly charms



All the girls in the restaurant

Pretending to be nonchalant

Funny girls on the TV shows

Close your eyes and they turn 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 working overtime

Telling you everything is fine

All the girls in the beauty shops

Girls' tongues catching 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 bend me

Be careful with me
