"Don't Put All Your Dreams In One Basket" lyrics

Randy Crawford & Joe Sample Lyrics

"Don't Put All Your Dreams In One Basket"
(originally by Ray Charles)

Now don't put all your dreams in one basket
Don't put all your hope in one heart
Fie if you discover
That he loves another
You'll be licked before you start

Now don't put all your dreams in one basket
Love is such a fragile thing
And if you should break it
Are you sure you can take it?
Or would your heart forget to sing?

Don't put all your dreams in one basket
Don't upset your applecart
He may think he's clever
And leave you forever
Then what will you tell your heart?

So don't put your dreams in one basket
Best made plans may go astray
If you play for high stakes
You might play for heartaches
Never throw your dreams away
Never throw your dreams away
