lyrics

Girl’s on the phone - she’s crying at home
You’d rather be alone - you can’t stand that awful moan
You think things need to end - no chains for this ramblin man
You come home to find - to your surprise she’s sleeping with your best friend

Well ain’t that the way it goes - this life is cruel, I suppose, and it
Don’t show no mercy, remorse, or regard
So don’t test your fate, cause when it’s too late - you’ll be looking around for someone to blame
And we’ll all be right here singing

Be careful what you wish for - because you just might get it (x2)

So here’s the scoop - your man’s flown the coop
You say, “Hey ladies, it’s time to get crazy”
And find yourself a winner in a 3-piece suit
You’re busting out on the floor - you’ve found a partner who can cure your woes
It’s all said and done - the night’s just begun
But hold up! - Is that your Ex standing at the door?

And he says

“Who’s this tall sack-of-shit, and why the hell does he think he can put his hand on your hips?!”
But you just smile and wait your turn
Cause this chump right here has no idea that his low-class, bitch-ass has got to fear the meaning of these six emphatic words

Be careful what you wish for - because you just might get it (x2)

*Bridge*

Be careful what you wish for - because you just might get it (x4)
