Be Careful What You Wish For
By Doug Adair c 2009


Too many people are too quick to complain

Find fault in everything but refuse any blame

They're never happy with what they've already got

There's a lesson they learn that's often painfully taught


Be careful what you wish for cause it might come true

Take care before you ask for something that you can't undo

Look twice before you leap, it could be the end of you

Be careful what you wish for cause it might come true

Be careful what you wish for, it just might come true


When I was young I always wanted much more

Saw where my neighbors lived, it made me feel poor

I envied their lives 'til I learned the sad truth

Their beautiful homes were filled with hate and abuse


Be careful what you wish for cause it might come true

Take care before you ask for something that you can't undo

Look twice before you leap, it could be the end of you

Be careful what you wish for cause it might come true

Be careful what you wish for, it just might come true

Treasure what you've got

Don't dwell on what is not

If you still want something more

Pay very close attention to what you're asking for


Be careful what you wish for cause it might come true

Take care before you ask for something that you can't undo

Look twice before you leap, it could be the end of you

Be careful what you wish for cause it might come true

Be careful what you wish for, it just might come true
