lyrics

A dark-eyed girl with a load of hurt
Mama always said be careful
Took most of it with her, didn't leave a word
Mama always said, be careful with your love

Sometimes the truth's too hard to learn
Mama always said be careful
Can't face it straight, you find a way to turn
Mama always said, be careful with your love

All jacked up on Saturday night
Mama always said be careful
She'll be a stranger in Sunday's light
Mama always said, be careful with your love

Too late for the cops, you're hopin'
Mama always said be careful
Foot on the gas and one eye open
Mama always said, be careful with your love

Oh, Mama always told you, boy
It's you I'm thinking of
You're my pride and joy
Be careful with your love

It'd break her hear to see her boy this way
Mama always said be careful
A whole two-six to get through the day
Mama always said, be careful with your love

And the girly bars that you walk past
Mama always said be careful
Got a hollow face in the window glass
Mama always said, be careful with your love

You got two eyes and you got two lungs
Mama always said be careful
You only got one heart, just that one
Mama always said, be careful with your love
