Paul Kelly Be Careful What You Pray For lyrics

Be careful what you pray for, you just might get it
Be careful what you pray for, you might regret it
You get your hands on that glittering prize
Now everybody's coming at you from every side

Be careful what you pray for, you just might get it
Be careful what you want now, you might be sorry
Be careful what you want now, you might be sorry
You finally make it to your place in the sun
You stop and look around you but you're friends with no-one
Be careful what you want now, you might be sorry

Go ahead, like a moth to flame, go ahead now
Be careful what you dream on, dreams come true
Be careful what you dream on, they can turn on you

Revenge is a dish they say best tasted cold
But revenge digs two graves, makes a young person old
Be careful what you dream of, it might come true

Go ahead like a moth to flame, go ahead now

Be careful what you pray for
Be careful what you dream on
Be careful who you bow to
Be careful who you vote for
Be careful what you suck on
Be careful what you pray for
