Got to be more careful when you walk the street alone
Cos hiding in the shadows might be the devil you don't know
Got to be more careful, everything you say
Don't wanna hear your words repeated
All twisted round the other way
You can't even see what they want from you and me
Can't believe a word they say
Can't believe the things they do
Can't believe they're getting away
With what they do, they do
Messing over me and you
Got to be more careful people
Got to be more careful now
Got to be more careful people
Got to be more careful y'all
Got to be more careful with all your don't's and do's
Be on your best behaviour watch your p's and q's
Got to be more careful when you're chatting on the phone
You don't know who's listening
And what they got going on
Cos hiding in the shadows might be the devil you don't know
Got to be more careful, everything you say
Don't wanna hear your words repeated
All twisted round the other way
You can't even see what they want from you and me
Can't believe a word they say
Can't believe the things they do
Can't believe they're getting away
With what they do, they do
Messing over me and you
Got to be more careful people
Got to be more careful now
Got to be more careful people
Got to be more careful y'all
Got to be more careful with all your don't's and do's
Be on your best behaviour watch your p's and q's
Got to be more careful when you're chatting on the phone
You don't know who's listening
And what they got going on
