Beware

[Verse 1]
I snagged myself on your barbed defences
And my chainmail unravelled as if woven from wool
And so to lead by example I had to get out before I was trampled
So heed my warning and steer well clear

[Chorus]
Beware, please beware
If you're gonna get involved with her then tread with care
‘Cause that girl is trouble, take it from me

[Verse 2]
My flesh was scored by your thorny branches
Now the patchwork I’m tailored from is ripped at the seams
And the threadless warning flags waved as though the wind was mad
But I chose not to notice and got caught in your snare

[Chorus]
Beware, please beware
If you're gonna get involved with him then tread with care
‘Cause that guy is trouble, take it from me

[Bridge]
And you've left your mark, girl
A blot on my page
I would Tipp-Ex you out but that only hides the pain
Well you’ve left your mark, boy
You've bulldozed my walls
I could build them up brick by brick but they never stand quite as tall

[Chorus]
Beware, please beware
If you're gonna get involved with her/him then tread with care
‘Cause that girl/guy is trouble, take it from me

[Outro]
Beware, yeah
Oh yeah
Beware, yeah
Oh yeah
Beware, yeah
Oh
Beware

Cos that girl/guy is trouble, take it from me
