Careful What you Wish For


JONATHA'S NOTE:


This song exploded one morning in a hotel room in Los Angeles. Eric Bazilian and I were out there working with JC Chasez, and I came up with this schizophrenic personality that was half Jeff Buckley, half Queen. JC passed on the song but not before he contributed his fabulousness to the chorus. And I got to put it on my record. Too much fun.
LYRICS: When I was a little girl, I had desires like you
One of everything, all the riches
How could I help myself?
I was so naïve, Santa Claus, Christmas eve, ohhh….

Careful what you wish for, careful what you do
Even when you whisper, someone's listening to you
Careful what you wish for, careful what you say
Careful what you wish for, 'cuz it just might come true someday

Now that I have everything
I'm a puppet on a string
Someone's got the end and I'm unraveling
And here's the thing
I would throw it all away
If I could only hear you say,
"Baby I'll stay, baby I'll stay"

First I wished for money and a house on a hill
I had so many friends around me, but which ones were real?
Careful what you wish for, careful what you dream
'Cuz no matter what you wish for, it's never gonna be what you need

Now that I have everything
I'm a puppet on a string
Someone's got the end and I'm unraveling
And here's the thing
I would throw it all away
If I could only hear you say,
"Baby I'll stay, baby I'll stay"

When I was a little girl, I had desires like you
One of everything, all the riches
How could I help myself?
I was so naïve, Santa Claus, Christmas eve, ohhh….

Now that I have everything
I'm a puppet on a string
Someone's got the end and I'm unraveling
And here's the thing
I would throw it all away
If I could only hear you say,
"Baby I'll stay, baby I'll stay"
'Cuz baby you're my everything
I'm a puppet on a string
Someone's got the end and I'm unraveling
And here's the thing
I would throw it all away
If I could only hear you say,
"Baby I'll stay, baby I'll stay"
