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, ohhh….

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, 'cuz 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

'Cuz 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"
