Gotta be careful what you do with your love life
Don't open yourself up to any old Joe
Any old Joe may say he really truly loves you
But that doesn't make it so
Don't ever give your heart outright baby
Find out first who will be true
'Cause if you ever give your heart outright, baby
You will get it stolen from you
Sometimes you gotta be kinda selfish
Do just what serves you the most
'Cause if you don't take care of your own business
Your manna could wind up burnt toast
Won't you listen to the words that I am saying
I speak from tried and true experience
There's a time to open yourself to advances
And there's a time to go and build a fence
And if you don't believe me there's nothing I can do
I just hope that you will hear my plea
Every time I gave my heart outright, baby
I got it stolen from me
