Careful What You Wish For

[Intro]
When I was a little girl
I had desires like you
One of everything
All the riches
How could I help myself?
I was so naïve
Santa Claus, Christmas eve, oh

[Verse 1]
Careful what you wish for
Careful what you do
Even when you whisper
Someone's listening to you
Careful what you wish for
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish for
'Cause it just might come true someday

[Chorus]
Now that I have everything
I'm a puppet on a string
Someone's got the end and I'm unraveling
And here's the thing
I would throw it all away
If I could only hear you say
"Baby I'll stay, baby I'll stay"

[Verse 2]
First I wished for money
And a house on a hill
I had so many friends around me
But which ones were real?
Careful what you wish for
Careful what you dream
'Cause no matter what you wish for
It's never gonna be what you need

[Chorus]
Now that I have everything
I'm a puppet on a string
Someone's got the end and I'm unraveling
And here's the thing
I would throw it all away
If I could only hear you say
"Baby I'll stay, baby I'll stay" (Oh)

[Bridge]
When I was a little girl
I had desires like you
One of everything
All the riches
How could I help myself?
I was so naïve
Santa Claus, Christmas eve, oh

[Chorus]
Now that I have everything
I'm a puppet on a string
Someone's got the end and I'm unraveling
And here's the thing
I would throw it all away
If I could only hear you say
"Baby I'll stay"
'Cause baby you're my everything
I'm a puppet on a string
Someone's got the end and I'm unraveling
And here's the thing
I would throw it all away
If I could only hear you say
"Baby I'll stay, baby I'll stay"
