Lyrics for Beware My Heart

Beware my heart You're getting in too deep Take care, my heart This is a bit too steep Don't listen to the lilt of his boyish laughter For you will cry for it forever after Beware my heart Of violins in the night When she is near They're loaded with dynamite And you can never finish a dream That wasn't meant to start Beware, take care my heart 'Cause this time I'm taking no chances On summer romances Kept fading before This time I'd rather be lonely If this can mean only A kiss to recall last time I surrendered at the very start Last time it was easy to deceive my heart But this time I won't let my heart go 'Til you let my heart know That this time it's love
