Lyrics

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 he 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
That end in the fall
This time
I'd rather be lonely
If this can be only
A kiss to recall
Last time
Also ended at the very start
Last time
It was easy to deceive my heart
But this time
I won't let my heart go
Till you let my heart know
That this time it's love
