Burn the midnight lamp down until the dawn
I'll keep watch until I'm
Sure you're coming home
Shadows play and flicker on the bedroom wall
They turn into a bad dream overnight
Something could be terribly wrong

Don't be careless love
(Don't be careless love)
(Don't be, don't be careless)
(Don't be, don't be careless love)
In my dream you're running nowhere
Every step you've taken turns to glue
Walking down a spiral staircase
Falling through, falling through
Don't be careless love be careless love

The lamp burns down and out
I'm getting pretty tired of this
I feel so bad, something might be going amiss
I won't be there so look out for yourself
You're getting in deep whatever you do
Don't let me go back to sleep

Don't be careless love
(Don't be careless love)
(Don't be, don't be careless)
(Don't be, don't be careless love)
Saw your face in the morning paper
Saw your body rolled up in a rug
Chopped up into two little pieces
By some thug don't be careless love
Be careless love

But in the morning light
When I wake up again
You're by my side and that's
The way it's always been
But in the dark your mind
Plays funny tricks on you
Your mind plays funny tricks on you
Your mind plays funny tricks on you
Don't be careless love
