lyrics

In the darkness of the night,
You can surely lose your sight,
Fall in love with madness and be confused,
As of what to do,
Though you think you're doing right,
Trying hard with all your might,
The object of your affection's just amused,
Inside they laugh at you,

Though it's hard to understand,
Go ahead and lend a hand,
Be careful who you lend your lips to

I was sure we'd meet again,
But I was off in Neverland,
You were something that I thought I had,
To love,
And it was just a simple kiss,
But I thought there was more to this,
I know you've made other people sad,
So I'll say it once again

Before you go out breaking hearts,
Ending love before it starts,
Be careful who you lend your lips to

And in the end I was ashamed,
But I'm the only one to blame,
I should learn to take it more,
Senselessly,
And if you ever here this song,
And it makes you feel you're doing wrong,
Please don't take it,
Offensively,
Even though you broke my heart

And though I learned the painful way,
Now I know and I can say,
I'm careful who I lend my lips to,
I'm careful who I lend my lips to,
I'm careful who I give my kiss to
