beware

beware, beware

don’t cross the street

without looking both ways

beware, beware

don’t walk away from Mommy

bad hats will snatch you up

beware, beware

there’s danger around every corner

there’s even danger in a home

beware, beware

you’re so young, barely a spark

one harsh word can stomp you out

beware, beware

of foolish desires that snake

around your ankles and trip you up

beware, beware

listen to me, stupid girl

i’m your mother, i know best

beware, beware

monsters under your bed

will eat the dreams out of your head

beware, beware

of all new friends and lovers

who might replace me in your heart

beware, beware

you don’t know anything, naive child

best stay in the confines of my shadow

stupid, stupid girl

why can’t you follow the rules?

i’m sorry, i love you so, you know

This world is cold and cruel

sunshine will trick you into the abyss

evil is a slippery thing

it sneaks up on you

seeps through your mind and spins you around

when you grow up you will realize

there is evil in everything

beware, beware

trust no one, love nothing

beware, beware

there’s nothing good here
