watch out!
Black Unicorn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You better watch out! Little baby
They're talking all over town
You better watch out! Little honey
I know you've been messing around

Well Jonas said he saw you walking 'round holding hands with some other man
Yeah and Judy warned me just the other day, said your playing me like a fool
But what's a boy to do?
I'm still in love with you
A thousand lovers behind my back
It seems your true love is what I lack

You better watch out! Little baby
They're talking all over town
You better watch out! Little honey
I know you've been messing around

So I hopped on the train to see you
I had to find out the truth for myself
But when I looked into your eyes I knew that they were lies
I'm the only one in your heart
Oh what was I to do?
If I found this all to be true
But I shoulda know better my dear
Than to believe everything I hear

They better watch out! Little baby
For talking all over town




They better watch out! Little honey
For spreading awful rumors around

steppenwhale

at first i thought it sounded weezeresque as he sang about Jonas, but you guys are right, this is alot like the Beatle's "Run for your Life" except the beatles song brings the mosh
heavy as fudge catch you with another man thats the end , rather see you dead, vibes i feel. this track is just like a heavy grateful dead homage fudge with a sprinkle of the descendents or beatles or whatever. i hate when people compare thrice with the beatles because the beatles actually brings the mosh.
