Careful What You Wish For

When I was a little girl

I had desires like you

One of everything

All the riches

How could I help myself?

I was so naïve

Santa Claus, Christmas eve, oh

Careful what you wish for

Careful what you do

Even when you whisper

Someone's listening to you

Careful what you wish for

Careful what you say

Careful what you wish for

'Cause it just might come true someday

Now that I have everything

I'm a puppet on a string

Someone's got the end and I'm unraveling

And here's the thing

I would throw it all away

If I could only hear you say

"Baby I'll stay, baby I'll stay"

First I wished for money

And a house on a hill

I had so many friends around me

But which ones were real?

Careful what you wish for

Careful what you dream

'Cause no matter what you wish for

It's never gonna be what you need

Now that I have everything

I'm a puppet on a string

Someone's got the end and I'm unraveling

And here's the thing

I would throw it all away

If I could only hear you say

"Baby I'll stay, baby I'll stay" (Oh)
