Be Careful What You Pray For
[Verse 1]
Be careful what you pray for, you just might get it
Be careful what you pray for, you might regret it
You get your hands on that glittering prize
Now everybody's coming at you from every side
Be careful what you pray for, you just might get it

[Verse 2]
Be careful what you want now, you might be sorry
Be careful what you want now, you might be sorry
You finally make it to your place in the sun
You stop and look around you but you're friends with no-one
Be careful what you want now, you might be sorry

[Chorus]
Go ahead, like a moth to a flame
Go ahead now

[Verse 3]
Be careful what you dream on, dreams come true
Be careful what you dream on, they can turn on you
Revenge is a dish they say best tasted cold
But revenge digs two graves, makes a young person old
Be careful what you dream on, it might come true

[Chorus]
Go ahead (Go ahead)
Like a moth to a flame
Go ahead now (Go ahead now)
[Outro]
Be careful what you pray for
Be careful what you pray for
Be careful what you dream on (Be careful what you dream on)
Be careful what you pray for (Be careful what you pray for)
Be careful what you pray for (Be careful what you pray for)
Mm-mm-mm
