Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Oh! baby, I’m so afraid
Something’s gonna happen
Like it does in so many romances
Oh! baby, I’m so afraid
And before it happens
Let me warn you that I am taking no chances
Chorus
If you love me like you say you do
You won’t mind my telling you
Oh! baby! Be careful with those eyes
When you fool with things like dynamite
You must learn to use them right
Oh! Baby! Be careful with those eyes
Can you imagine on the day we’re wed
Can you imagine if the parson said
Now that I pronounce you man and wife
If you want a happy life
Oh! Baby! Be careful with those eyes
