Careful What You Wish For

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, ohhh? 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, 'cuz it just might come true someday 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" 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 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" 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, ohhh? 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" '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"
