REFRAIN
You better be
You better be
VERSE 1
I’m sick and tired of you saying what I can’t do
Saying I ain’t ever gonna prove
Anything too
Making fun of my scented shampoo
Scoffing at my trendy hairdo
Are you gonna take my blush too?
Girl I am,
I can’t help my glam
But that doesn’t mean I can’t body slam
BRIDGE
They say what you don’t know
Will hurt you more
Than what you do
Since you refuse
To understand
I think you should be
CHORUS
Careful
It doesn’t hurt to be too
Careful
Someone needs to show you how to be
Careful
Oh gonna be (gonna be) killed if you’re not
REFRAIN
You better be
You better be
VERSE 2
Cold, calculating and mildly titillating
Don’t be surprised that I’m participating
Keep on hating, not concentrating
When you lose it’ll be exasperating
For you, not me, ’cause I’ll be celebrating
I hope this is brain-stimulating
That I’m dominating
Because my will is never-abating
BRIDGE
They say if you don’t know the past
You’re doomed to repeat it
Can’t you see
I’m trying to help you beat it
You’re not even trying to be
CHORUS
Careful
It doesn’t hurt to be too
Careful
Someone needs to show you how to be
Careful
Oh yeah gonna be (gonna be) killed if you’re not
Killed if you’re not
Oh yeah
REFRAIN
Uh uh
You better be
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
You better be
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
You better
(Oh yeah just the drumbeat)
You better be
(Oh you better be careful)
You better be
(Oh you better be careful)
You better
(Be careful)
I am not lying
It’s slowly you’re dying
Don’t come to me crying
When you lose in your fighting
CHORUS
Careful
It doesn’t hurt to be too
Careful
Someone needs to show you how to be
Careful
Oh yeah gonna be (gonna be) killed if you’re not
Killed if you’re not
Oh yeah
You better be
(Oh you better be careful)
You better be
(Oh you better be careful)
You better
(Be careful)
