Proceed with Care

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Don't be scared
Of conversation that you've overheard
Yes, it's true
The first night's just a cryptic clue

Don't deny
Your first taste's worth a second try
Kisses sweet
Us underfed need occasional treat

[Verse 2]
Proceed with care
If you met him when his mates were there
Try to take five
If you met him in a late-night dive

Go with the flow
If he's the one to make your fire glow
But just say no
If he's got two fires on the go

[Chorus 1]
But the treat we deserve, well, it don't come cheap
Do we love at first sight or cross over the street?
If we cross, then we're just, we're just one of the weak
Or we're locked in a marriage, too petrified to speak
Speak

[Verse 2]
Yes it's hard
But you've got to get him showing his cards
Like before
It just left us facing the floor

Makes more sense
To be ahead of the consequence
Does seem hard
But you can't let him lower your guard

[Chorus 2]
So it looks like he's not gonna lose that appeal
He's passed all the tests and it looks as though this time it's real
It's amazing just what the first fight can reveal
'Cause on the edge of his lips is "Heel, girl, heel!"
'Cause on the edge of his lips is "Heel, girl, heel!"

[Bridge]
Don't be afraid of the enemies you've made
Just take care of the folks who got you there
Return the rings and all the presents he brings
It's a raw deal he wants you to sign and seal

[Verse 2]
Proceed with care
If you met him when his mates were there
Try to take five
If you met him in a late-night dive

Go with the flow
If he's the one to make your fire glow
But just say no
If he's got two fires on the go
