be careful

[Verse 1]
I can lean back in this blues truck
Easy way to find my way around this tune up
Take my soul back, far as I can go
Just so I can find a way to tell you all I know
Hate to see you cry
But I know it's from all the things we keep inside
Anyway, I'm young
There's no way I'll patronize you
But I'm here for you, so hear me when I say

[Chorus]
Just be careful, baby
This world ain't gon' be here long, no (hm-hm)
I said be careful, darlin'
This world ain't gon' be here long, oh no

[Post-Chorus]
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, yeah
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Ooh

[Verse 2]
So be cool, just wait it out
Go make some coffee
Raise your child right
There's no need to call here
We gon' be alright
It's gon' be okay
I've done all I can and said all that I need to say

[Chorus]
Just be careful, baby
This world ain't gon' be here long, oh
I said be careful, darlin'
This world ain't gon' be here long

[Bridge]
Can you do me just one favor
I only want one favor from you
Don't ever live no lie, yeah, oh-oh-oh, yeah
Don't ever live no lie, lie, yeah-yeah

[Chorus]
Just be careful, baby
This world ain't gon' be here long, oh-oh
I said be careful, darlin'
This world ain't gon' be here long
