Don't be careless with you darling
If you love her don't let her down
If you're faithful she won't leave you
Lost and wasted the way I am.

Walk softly on the bridges that you're crossing
Don't break her heart then cry cause it won't mend
Be careful not to slam the door behind you
You may want to knock upon her door again.

--- Instrumental ---

When temptation flirts and whispers come
And taste my lips they're sweet as wine
If you weaken you'll be cheatin' on
Your own heart like I did mine.

Walk softly on the bridges that you're crossing
Don't break her heart then cry cause it won't mend
Be careful not to slam the door behind you
You may want to knock upon her door again.
