Eddie Boyd and Fleetwood Mac - Be Careful

You told me that you love me
But now, little girl I know you're tellin' a lie
You told me that you love me
Now, little girl I know you're tellin' a lie
But I guess I'm born a fool for a woman
I'll be loving you until the day I die

Do you remember, baby
When the days you were going to school?
Do you remember, do you remember, baby
In the days when you were going to school?
You know we both were in the first reader class
You promised never to break my rule

Now you're in the big city
And the bright lights is shining on you
Now you're in the big city, baby
And the bright lights is shining on you
When I called your name on the street, little girl
You said, "Oh, look at you, fool"

Yeah, but you better, you better be careful
How you treat a stranger in your hometown
Little girl, I tell you to be careful
How you treat a stranger in your hometown
Well, you know the world is just like a see-saw
Everybody's going up and down

But I know, I know you're gonna miss me
When you grow a little bit older
I know you're gonna miss me
When you grow a little bit older
When that pimp starts to mistreatin' you
You're gonna say, little Eddie, I know he told me so
