'Cause I love you, baby I warn you
Could this be the kind of love
I have come from far away to see this go down the drain
I have come from far away to see this go down the drain
That my mum use to warn me about?
When I know this love don't last
My papa say baby I warn you
My life's like a subway
My mama say baby be careful
I try so hard to express my self
Tell me how am I supposed to
If anybody comes to say I love you
Do you believe this love is real?

My papa say baby I warn you
My mama say baby be careful
Everyday is not a holiday
Look at me, tell me what you see

If anybody comes to say I love you
My papa say be careful 'cause I warn you baby
My whole wild world is caving in

My whole wild world is caving in
My mama say baby be careful
If anybody comes to say I love you
But the woman in me don't fade away
But the woman in me, don't fade away
If any body comes to say I love you
Emotionally failing me
If any body comes to say I love you

Oh, I know this love don't last

If any body comes to say I love you
Emotionally failing me

Now you asking me to trust you

Feel it, you feel it

I'm not so free to express myself
How will I know that this love will last?
Feel it, you feel it
Because I love you and I won't hurt you
I have waited patiently and this is what I get
I know this love don't last

My mama say baby be careful

My papa say baby I warn you
I have got so much to give but don't know what I'll get
