En Vogue - Careful

Crying in the inside, so many men but so unhappy
I gave my love to any man who smiled at me
I played the game of love with no rules
And when it was all over, I was the fool

Some how I had to get it right just on time

For once in my life, I was careful
For once in my life, showed me how much you care and I’m so grateful
For once in my life, I’m so glad I was careful
For once in my life, now I have a love a so sweet and I’m so thankful

With a closed heart, never let emotions tear me apart
I had to have the upper hand to be cruel, to be hard
I didn’t care to man, oh, oh
I was still hurting inside hanging on to pride

I just about died when you found me and gave me good love
And now I know I did the right thing

For once in my life, I was careful
For once in my life, showed me how much you care and I’m so grateful
For once in my life, I’m so glad I was careful
For once in my life, now I have a love a so sweet and I’m so thankful
