Be Careful With That
Be Careful With That by Krautnuck
This is the last time
Not sure I'm making it count
You're trying so hard to make yourself heard
You're drowning me out
So many voices, you're all alone
Right in the middle, raising your own
You've got to make your place or you will die
Last one to lead the pack will sink like a stone
It's a fight, a fight for your place
A contest to contest who is best
Give it up, give up your peace of mind
When you're dead you'll have time to rest
Be careful with that
Don't trust in what you feel
Be careful with that
'Cause none of it is real
It's time to open your eyes
You can be the only one
See better than the other guys
Just listen to the sound of my voice
You're in the right place
Just have to take a look around
I'm happy to give you all that I have
Just hear me out
You've learned to not resist, give into all
A birthright that you missed, take every fall
You've got to make your place or you will die
When will you realize it's all a lie
Be careful with that
Don't trust in what you feel
Be careful with that
'Cause none of it is real
[Repeat 2x]

Re: Be Careful With That
Be Careful With That - P.J.
The first time I looked into your eyes
I had a funny feeling 'bout you
Somehow you keep me mesmerized
But there's nothing that I can do
Nothing seems the same
Since I gave my heart to you
Won't you be careful with that
I love to give you shit sometimes
And sometimes I even tease
But I'm happy you are mine
You make me weak in the knees
Chorus
Well, it's been almost sixteen years
Since I first laid eyes on you
And through all the smiles and tears
There's nothing else I want to do

Re: Be Careful With That
Be Careful With That
by Nobody, et al.
Strange to think
That it won't be
my nemesis who conquers me
How could I
have failed to see
I'd be undone by your beauty
But now the door is locked.
I will not be mocked.
How is it
That I believed
Anything you said to me
I turn my back
and one two three
You've gone and set my captive free
You said you'd be my wife
But now you've got my knife
Be careful with that thing
That is not a toy the blade is sharp
And if you do not watch yourself
You just might poke out someone's heart
I was going to set him free
All you had to do was
Love me Love me
So here we are
You and me
Standoff of the century
Kill you both
Or let you leave
Either one is agony.
Daggers in our hands
We circle like a dance
And in your eyes I see that fire
The fire I tried to hard to tame
But I see now If I took away that passion
You'd never be the same.
Now you strike and I evade
The silver steel, its point so fine
And though you cut me to the core
The blade that finds a heart is mine

Re: Be Careful With That
I'm nervous today - I see you coming my way
You wait inside - inside my head all day
You climb inside and take - take away my mind
There's no way to be - alone with you inside my head
Chorus
Be careful with that (3x)
No there's nothing to see - it's hidden inside me
I'm cold - I'm warm - it's hot inside my soul
Since I won't relent - you'll only be content
To make me not belong, to hell with common sense.
Chorus
Bridge
There's no excuses - rolling in all of our ruses
When the door is closed - there will be someone there
Inside your mind - and you won't even care.
You wait inside - inside my head all day
You climb inside and take - take away my mind
There's no way to be - alone with you inside my head
Chorus
Be careful with that (3x)
No there's nothing to see - it's hidden inside me
I'm cold - I'm warm - it's hot inside my soul

Re: Be Careful With That
here's mine..
Different strokes for different folks
Some like pepsi, some like coke
Drink too much soda pop, you’ll get fat
Be careful with that
In the next hour someone will take a shower
Scrub themselves clean, smell like a flower
Then they will trip on the wet bath mat
Be careful with that
(bridge)
Some go outside without any sunscreen
Why? Who knows, ask Sigmund Freud,
And me, my middle name is Danger
but my first name is Avoid
(solo on verse)
2nd bridge
Don’t take that on an empty stomach
Never eat anything medium rare
You could put an eye out with that thing
So don’t go bringing it in here
Things can get hairy, the world can get scary
I even know some people who never eat dairy
So here’s what I was trying to get at
Be careful with that

Re: Be Careful With That
BE CAREFUL WITH THAT
DJ Ranger Den (w/mastering from Billy's Little Trip, thanks
)
Be careful with that key -
it unlocks a door you don't really want to open.
Why must you test the fates, and
why must you unlock gates -
when we ... are safe inside
... our lives?
It's not your way to play it safe;
hold on for one more day.
Be careful with that key
because you do not need to know
just what the future's going to bring.
It's not your way to play it safe;
hold on for one more day....

Be Careful With That -- The Kenzie Chickens
Be careful with that
You’ve got eyes like two arrows
Sizing me up as I drink you in
Forgive me if I stand and gawk like a schoolboy
In awe of the light that reflects off your skin
Be careful with that
You’re so hot that you’re smokin’
Shakin’ and bakin’ you turn up the heat
I’m only a man with a simple agenda
To find me a method to make you want me
Be careful with all of that power you have as you stand in the range of my fire
Be careful with that
If you knew your own power
You’d ease back and give me a chance to inhale
Hair like a river, your lips wet with coffee
I’m gone like Ulysses, my ship has set sail
Be careful with that
My mind is a whirlpool
I’m only a man without words to convey
The weight of the moment, the lightness of feeling
My feet off the floor and my heart’s blown away
Be careful with all of that power you have as you stand in the range of my fire
I’m only a man with a matchbox in pocket
Consumed in my dreams of desire
Be careful with that
You’ve got eyes like two arrows
Sizing me up as I drink you in

Re: Be Careful With That
Be Careful With That - Dr Octagon
Be careful with that man I saw you with - he isn't nice
I met him in a nightclub and he tried to sell me ice
I'm just a humble eskimo; my friends are on cocaine
And I think I might be going to complain
I think I might be going to complain
Be careful with that caravan - don't park it on a hill
The brakes are quite inadequate, the danger very real
You'll end up in the reservoir and you can't even swim
And I don't think you can rely on him
I don't think you can rely on him
Be careful with that
Be careful with this
I have only 90 minutes
To write and record
So I don't have time to make it any good
And I hope that it hasn't been too painful to listen to
I'll try to do better next time
Thank you and goodbye

All the notes I play tonight
Won’t turn wrong into right
I can pound the keys until my bias ears begin to bleed
My eyes are tied to you and the guilt you carry
Play it one too many times
Try too hard to fit the years into these pretty little rhymes
So I’ll just use these words
You hold my heart
Please, be careful with that x4
Can’t you just hear what I need
Trying to speak through triangles and all these strings
I couldn’t make it more clearly obtuse
You hold my heart
Please, be careful with that x4

Looks like it has little bruises from 10 foot poles and such.
The sunlight plays off of it oddly like it's got it's own atmosphere
(this is the chorus) my watch doesn't make any sense, I feel something just under my skin, somebody bring us some lemonade and sidearms.
I wouldn't go very much closer judging the shape that it's in
A fire-hose could knock it back some, or it might piss it off, hard to say
(this is the chorus) be careful with that if you wanna see next week, birds falling dead from the sky is a clue.

Be Careful with That
by WreckdoM
Never, never, never shank a baby,
Don't drop it on it's head
Never use your baby for something
That it's not intended
That baby's not a throw rug
Or a cutting board
and If you break that baby
It won't be fun no more
Feed it chocolate
Never, never, never baste a baby
Don't roast it in clam sauce
It won't be good with capers
Or pickled in a jar
Always wear gloves with your baby
Always keep it packed with gauze
Polish your baby daily
And show it who's the boss
Feed it chocolate
