Proceed with Care

Lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] Don't be scared Of conversation that you've overheard Yes, it's true The first night's just a cryptic clue Don't deny Your first taste's worth a second try Kisses sweet Us underfed need occasional treat [Verse 2] Proceed with care If you met him when his mates were there Try to take five If you met him in a late-night dive Go with the flow If he's the one to make your fire glow But just say no If he's got two fires on the go [Chorus 1] But the treat we deserve, well, it don't come cheap Do we love at first sight or cross over the street? If we cross, then we're just, we're just one of the weak Or we're locked in a marriage, too petrified to speak Speak [Verse 2] Yes it's hard But you've got to get him showing his cards Like before It just left us facing the floor Makes more sense To be ahead of the consequence Does seem hard But you can't let him lower your guard [Chorus 2] So it looks like he's not gonna lose that appeal He's passed all the tests and it looks as though this time it's real It's amazing just what the first fight can reveal 'Cause on the edge of his lips is "Heel, girl, heel!" 'Cause on the edge of his lips is "Heel, girl, heel!" [Bridge] Don't be afraid of the enemies you've made Just take care of the folks who got you there Return the rings and all the presents he brings It's a raw deal he wants you to sign and seal [Verse 2] Proceed with care If you met him when his mates were there Try to take five If you met him in a late-night dive Go with the flow If he's the one to make your fire glow But just say no If he's got two fires on the go
