Lyrics

[Intro, Spoken] (It's C-A-R-E-F-U-L-L-Y) [Chorus] Everything you do, do it carefully One slip-up, then I won't be there for you, won't be there for me Your fate lies in the delivery, so do it carefully [Post-Chorus] (C-A-R-E-F-U-L-L-Y) You'd think it'd be easy to say goodbye (C-A-R-E-F-U-L-L-Y) But, baby, don't you cry Everything will be fine, everything will be fine [Verse 1] Don't forget to see the signs, everything will be fine Everything will be fine, when you're all mine Just don't run out of time, just don't be the perfect crime 'Cause when it's all said and done, baby, you're the one The one I treat like a son, the one with which I have all my fun I don't want our time to be done (Who would, though? Who would, though?) My time for my special someone has just begun (Not time to go, please don't go) [Chorus] Everything you do, do it carefully One slip-up, then I won't be there for you, won't be there for me Your fate lies in the delivery, so do it carefully [Post-Chorus] (C-A-R-E-F-U-L-L-Y) You'd think it'd be easy to say goodbye (C-A-R-E-F-U-L-L-Y) But, baby, don't you cry Everything will be fine, everything will be fine [Verse 2] Everything will be okay when we hit the end of the day We'll look back and laugh, laugh at all the things we'd say We'd have a perfect night, understand, you're alright Not out of ideas yet, I use my mind to write Write my mind, save some space Put you (Wow!) in your place If I'm the winner, when did we begin the race? I've gotten used to your face So say you'll stay with me in our place [Chorus] Everything you do, do it carefully One slip-up, then I won't be there for you, won't be there for me Your fate lies in the delivery, so do it carefully [Post-Chorus] (C-A-R-E-F-U-L-L-Y) You'd think— [Bridge] You'd think I'd cry (C!) At least a sigh (A!) We barely tried (R!) Are you satisfied? (E!) We touched the sky (F!) Then you didn't reply (U!) I thought we'd die (L!) I watched the passersby (L!) And I wondered, why? (Y!) Why, why, why? (C-A-R-E-F-U-L-L-Y!) [Chorus] Everything you do, do it carefully One slip-up, then I won't be there for you, won't be there for me Your fate lies in the delivery, so do it carefully Please do it carefully, I need you there for me
