Lyrics

Be Careful

[Verse 1]

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 telephones

All the girls standing all alone

All the girls sitting on the wires

Who one by one fly into the fire

[Chorus]

Be careful how you bend me

Be careful where you send me

Careful how you end me

Be careful with me

[Verse 2]

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 restaurants

Pretending to be nonchalant

Funny girls on the TV shows

Close your eyes and they turn to snow

[Chorus]

Be careful how you bend me

Be careful where you send me

Careful how you end me

Be careful with me

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Be careful how you bend me

Be careful where you send me

Careful how you end me

Be careful with me

[Outro]

Be careful how you bend me

Be careful with me
