Beware

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

Beware, please beware
If you're gonna get involved with her
Then tread with care
'Cause that girl is trouble
Take it from me

My flesh was scored
By your thorny branches
Now the patch work I'm tailored from
Is ripped at the seams
And the thread-less warning flags
Waved as though the wind was mad
But I chose not to notice
And got caught in your snare

Beware, please beware
If you're gonna get involved with him
Then tread with care
'Cause that guy is trouble
Take it from me

And you've left your mark girl
A blot on my page
I would tippex 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

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

Beware, yeah
Beware, yeah
Beware, yeah
Beware

'Cause that girl/guy is trouble
Take it from me
