"Be Careful What You Wish For" lyrics
"Be Careful What You Wish For"
I had it all, but I wanted more
The keys to the castle, but I had to find the back door
I had the toys, baby, I had the stuff
Yesterday was just too late, too much was not enough
But life's funny, treasure turns to trash
First comes the rush and then comes the crash
Better be careful what you wish for
Better be careful, be careful what you wish for
Better be careful what you wish for
You just might get it, you just might get it
He picked the numbers for the Powerball
Two, seven, twelve, eleven, twenty-two
Well, he had them all
He said, "It's time to satisfy my need"
Salesman told him, "Friend, I think I've got your speed"
He picked his color, he paid in cash
He drove that new Ferrari straight off the overpass
Better be careful what you wish for
Better be careful, be careful what you wish for
Better be careful, be careful what you wish for
You just might get it, you just might get it
His agent told him, "You're the king of this town
And like a king, you need to learn to party down
We've got beautiful women, beautiful men
Thirteen temptations and one original sin
So take that money and take that fame
And shoot it up like a needle in your vein
So burn that candle and seize that day
And take a pretty picture on that stainless steel tray"
Better be careful what you wish for
Better be careful, be careful what you wish for, yeah
Better be careful, be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it, you just might get it
Better be careful, be careful
Better be careful, be careful what you wish for, yeah
Better be careful, be careful what you wish for
You just might get it, you just might get it
You just might get it, you just might get it
We just might get it, you know you're gonna get it, I had it all
