Lyrics
Caution
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Never too late, you can come through
I'll be up waiting
I don't want nobody but you
No hesitating
'Cause every time you leave I fall apart
Boy you're the missing pieces of my heart
And I try to let you go, but you resist and pull me back
And I try to be alone, but you persist, I've met my match
Proceed with caution, don't be dishonest
I need you closer to love me harder
Proceed with caution, face to face
And touch me in a different kind of way
Proceed with caution, but don't make me wait
Before too long it just might fade away
Proceed with caution, caution, caution, caution, caution
Never get enough gimme your touch
Don't wanna waste time
You lift me up, give me that rush
Tell me it's all mine
I'll give up everything to be right where you are
I'll follow you from here like you're the northern star
And I try to let you go, but you resist and pull me back
And I try to be alone, but you persist, I've met my match
Proceed with caution, don't be dishonest
I need you closer to love me harder
Proceed with caution, face to face
And touch me in a different kind of way
Proceed with caution, but don't make me wait
Before too long it just might fade away
Proceed with caution, caution, caution, caution, caution
Do you want more material possessions? Ain't nothing
Do you want more? Can you commit to be my everything?
Do you want more? Baby, convince me with the words you sing
If you wanna be more to me, you must proceed with caution
Caution, caution, caution
Caution, caution, caution
Caution, caution, yeah
Proceed with caution
Proceed with caution, don't be dishonest (don't be dishonest)
I need you closer to love me harder (I need)
Proceed with caution, face to face (proceed with caution)
And touch me in a different kind of way (a different kind if way)
Proceed with caution, don't be dishonest (don't be dishonest)
I need you closer to love me harder (I need)
Proceed with caution, face to face
And touch me in a different kind of way (touch me, touch me)
Proceed with caution, but don't make me wait
Before too long it just might fade away
Proceed with caution, caution, caution, caution
