Got to be more careful
When you walk the street alone
'Cause 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 behavior
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
