[Verse 1: John Feldmann, Monique Powell, John Feldmann & Monique Powell]
Now you're fuckin' around with my head
Fuckin' around with my heart
There's somethin', always somethin'
Tellin' me that I need more
A little more love, I wonder
If that would satisfy this hunger
'Cause there's somethin', always somethin'
Tellin' me that I need more

[Pre-Chorus: Monique Powell]
I wanted sex, I wanted drugs, I wanted sunshine
I wanted every day to always be a good time
I wanted fame, you say my name, I wanted girls
Getting what you want is the worst

[Chorus: John Feldmann]
Careful what you wish for
Careful what you wish for
It's never enough, you'll want more
Getting what you want is the worst

[Verse 2: John Feldmann & Monique Powell]
It used to be
The wanting it was the worst part
Now that I have what I want, my head keeps telling me that I could lose what I got
Where's the love? I wonder
I wonder if you got lost under
The needing and all that bleeding
The time I lost needin' more
[Pre-Chorus: Monique Powell]
I wanted sex, I wanted drugs, I wanted sunshine
I wanted every day to always be a good time
I wanted fame, you say my name, I wanted girls
Getting what you want is the worst

[Chorus: John Feldmann & Monique Powell]
Careful what you wish for
Careful what you wish for
It's never enough, you'll want more
Getting what you want is the worst
Careful what you wish for
Careful what you wish for
It's never enough, you'll want more
Getting what you want is the worst

[Verse 1: John Feldmann & Monique Powell]
Now you're fucking around with my head
Fuckin' around with my heart
There's somethin', always somethin'
Tellin' me that I need more (Yeah!)

[Chorus: John Feldmann, Monique Powell, John Feldmann & Monique Powell]
Careful what you wish for
Careful what you wish for
It's never enough, you'll want more
Getting what you want is the worst (So!)
Careful what you wish for
Careful what you wish for
It's never enough, you'll want more
Getting what you want is the worst
[Outro: John Feldmann]
(Getting what you want is the worst)
