Proceed With Care
Biscuit Boy AKA Crackerman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of conversations that you've overheard
Yes it's true
The first nights just a cryptic clue
Don't deny
Your first tastes worth a second try
Kisses sweet
Us underfed need occasional treat
Proceed with care
If you met him when his mates were there
Try to take five
If you met him in a late night dive
Go with the flow
If he's the one to make your fire glow
But just say no
If he's got two fires on the go
But the treat we deserve well it don't come cheap
Do we love at first sight or cross over the street
If we cross then we're just one of the weak
Or we're locked in a marriage too petrified to speak
Yes it's hard
But you've got to get him showing his cards
Like before
It just left us facing the floor
Makes more sense
To be ahead of the consequence
Does seem hard
But you can't let him lower your guard
So it looks like he's not gonna lose that appeal
He's passed all the tests and it looks as though this time it's real
It's amazing just what the first fight can reveal
Cause on the edge of his lips is Heel! Girl Heel!
Don't be afraid
Of the enemies you've made
Just take care
Of the folks who got you there
Return the rings
And all the presents he brings
It's a raw deal
He wants you to sign and seal
Proceed with care
If you met him when his mates were there
Try to take five
If you met him in a late night dive
Go with the flow
If he's the one to make your fire glow
But just say no
If he's got two fires on the go

Do not fear
Of the enemies you've made
Do not be afraid of the people that you have wronged
Just take care
Be careful with what you do
Of the folks who got you there
Be mindful of the people that helped you reach where you are right now
Return the rings
Give back the engagement or wedding rings
And all the presents he brings
Give back all the gifts he gave you
It's a raw deal
It's a bad deal
He wants you to sign and seal
He wants you to sign the divorce papers
