So be careful what you want
Cuz if you really do
Its gonna come,
Its gonna come and get you.

So be careful what you want
Cuz if you really do
Its gonna come
Its gonna come lay itself on you.

Oh and you cant stand
the way that your body is
Always looking for something
to touch other than yourself

Oh and everybody knows
Why you're frozen at green lights
Oh no you cant turn left cant turn right
With those summers at night

So be careful what you want
Cuz if you really do
Its gonna come
Its gonna find its way to you

So be careful what you want
I said be careful want you want
Cuz its gonna come
Its gonna lay itself on you

And you cant take
The way that your answers
Always leave them the questions
You're hoping they never ask

Oh and your poor wife
Always wakes to you screaming
Oh this century needs me
But Ive tried believe me
I just cant do right.

So be careful what you say
Cuz if there's truth in it
Your loved ones will know
The difference

So be careful what you say
I said be careful what you say
Cuz the whole wide world
will know the difference

So be careful what you want
Cuz if you really do
Its gonna come,
Its gonna come and get you.

So be careful what you want
Cuz if you really do
Its gonna come
Its gonna come lay itself on you.
