Paul Heaton - Proceed With Care lyrics

rate me

Don't be scared

Of conversations that you've overheard

Yes it's true

The first nights just a cryptic clue

Don't deny

Your first tastes worth a second try

Kisses sweet

Us underfed need occasional treat

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

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 one of the weak

Or we're locked in a marriage too petrified to speak

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

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!

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

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
