Don't Be Careless Love

Paul McCartney Paul McCartney

Burn the midnight lamp
Down until the dawn
I'll keep watch until I'm sure your coming home
Shadows play and flicker on the bedroom wall
They turn into a bad dream overnight

Something could be terribly wrong
Don't be careless love
Don't be careless love
Don't be, don't be careless

In my dream you're running nowhere
Every step you've taken turns to glue
Walking down a spiral staircase
Falling through, falling through
Don't be careless love
Be careless love

The lamp burns down and out
I'm getting pretty tired of this
I feel so bad something might be going amiss
I won't be there so look out for yourself
You're getting in deep whatever you do

Don't let me go back to sleep
Don't be careless love
Don't be careless love
Don't be, don't be careless

Saw your face in the morning paper
Saw your body rolled up in a rug
Chopped up into two little pieces
By some thug
Don't be careless love
Be careless love

But in the morning light
When I wake up again
You're by my side and that's the way it's always been
But in the dark your mind plays funny tricks on you

Your mind plays funny tricks on you
Your mind plays funny tricks on you
Don't be careless love
