Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I’m known as someone who is tactical
The quickest trigger brain in town
And yet at times I’m so impractical
All my defenses I let down
Refrain:
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 her lovely laughter
Or 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
