Be Careful Lyrics

her name was Juliet
some girl that I just met
for dinner at this place on lafayette
when it was time to go
she gets the check and grabs my coat
and then she tells me
"now, I'll walk you home"

well I'm not linking what I hear
in what kind of hemisphere
do the lions all get lead around by deer?

you gotta be careful
foolin' with nature
'couse pretty soon nature
will start foolin' with you

eve took a mouthful
of a little red apple
but what mouthful
was a little too much to chew

I like equality
but if you're telling me
that equal means the same I desagree
girls are sugar, boys are spice
mix them up you pay the price
never thinking what you sacrificed

and now, it's just too late
so, how can you complain
that every tarzan in the jungle acts like jane?

you gotta be careful
foolin' with nature
'couse pretty soon nature
will start foolin' with you

eve took a mouthful
of a little red apple
but what mouthful
was a little too much to chew
my apologies to all concerned
but it's a lesson every child has learned
if you play with fire, your fingers might
get burned

so, let me get the door
let me keep your warm
why take less of me when I can give you more?

you gotta be careful
foolin' with nature
'couse pretty soon nature
will start foolin' with you

so, make me work harder
at getting you closer
'couse the harder I'm working
the better you'll do
