When I was a little girl I had these eyes like you
One of everything, all the riches held, but I held myself
I was so naive, Santa Claus, Christmas Eve, oh

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
'Cause they just might come true some day

Now that I have everything I'm a puppet on a string
Someone's got me and then I'm unraveling and here is 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 wish for money and a house on a hill
I had so many friends around me, but which ones are real
Careful what you wish for, careful what you dream
'Cause no matter what you wish for
It's never gonna be the what you need

Now that I have everything I'm a puppet on a string
Someone's got me and then I'm unraveling and here is the thing
I would throw it all away if I could only hear you say
Baby I'll stay, baby I'll stay, oh

When I was a little girl I had desires like you
One of everything, all the riches held, but I held myself
I was so naive, Santa Claus, Christmas Eve, oh

Now that I have everything I'm a puppet on a string
Someone's got me and then I'm unraveling and here is the thing
I would throw it all away if I could only hear you say
Baby I'll stay

'Cause baby you're my everything I'm a puppet on a string
Someone's got me and then I'm unraveling and here is the thing
I would throw it all away if I could only hear you say
Baby I'll stay, baby I'll stay
