Don't be careless with you darling if you love him don't let him down
If you're faithful he won't leave you lost and wasted the way I am
Walk softly on the bridges that you're crossing
Don't break his heart then cry cause it won't mend
Be careful not to slam the door behind you
You may need to knock upon his door again

When temptation flirts and whispers come and taste my lips they're sweet as wine
If you weaken you'll be chatin' on your own heart like I did mine
Walk softly on the bridges...
