[Pre-Chorus]

C
People always told me
Em
Be careful what you do
C                                        Em
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
C
And mama always told me
Em
Be careful who you love
Am
Be careful what you do
B
Because a lie becomes the truth

[Pre-Chorus 2]

C
People always told me
Em
Be careful what you do
C                                        Em
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
C
Then she came and stood right by me
Em
With the smell of sweet perfume
Am
It happened much too soon
B
She called me to her room
