Be Careful (What You Ask For)

The river thunderin' down below

Is a terrible sight to behold

I'm steppin' out on the tightrope now

And I'm tryin' to not look down

Be careful what you ask for

Wishes do come true

You may get what you ask for

But will you know what to do with it when you do?

I dance alone in a circle of fire

I'm lost in a burning desire

I just need a little more of your stuff

Oh, just a little is never enough, yeah

Be careful what you ask for

Wishes do come true

You may get what you ask for

But will you know what to do with it when you do?

I have never found any middle ground

I'm sinkin' down

Hopeless lover, save my soul

Let me sleep inside your door

Wrap me in your fire's glow

Show me what you want to show

Take me everywhere you go

Take me down and keep me low

Take me down and keep me low

Take me down and keep me low

Be careful what you ask for

Wishes do come true

You may get what you ask for

But will you know what to do with it when you do?

(Be careful what you ask for)

Be careful

(Wishes do come true)

They come true

(You may get what you ask for)

But will you know what to do with it?
