(McCartney/MacManus). Burn the midnight lamp. Down until the dawn. I'll keep watch. Until I'm sure you're coming home. Shadows play. And flicker on the bedroom wall. They turn into a bad dream overnight. Something could be terribly wrong. Don't be careless love. Don't be careless love. Don't be don't be careless. In my dream you're running nowhere. Every step you've taken turns to glue. Walking down a spiral staircase. Failing through failing through. Don't be careless love. Be careless love. The lamp burns down and out. I'm getting pretty tired of this. I feel so bad. Something might be going amiss. I won't be there. So look out for yourself. You're getting in deep whatever you do. Don't let me go back to sleep. Don't be careless love. Don't be careless love. Don't be don't be careless. Saw your face in the morning paper. Saw your body rolled up in a rug. Chopped up into two little pieces. By some thug. Don't be careless love. Be careless love. But in the morning light. When I wake up again. You're by my side. And that's the way it's always been. But in the dark. Your mind plays funny tricks on you. Your mind plays funny tricks on you. Your mind plays funny tricks on you. Don't be careless love.
