Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't tell you what it's all about
Don't know who does
I tell you to beware, my love
Beware, my love
Beware, my love
Beware, my love
Beware, my love
Beware, my love
Oh, oh, oh
No, no, no
I must be wrong, baby, yeah
But I don't believe that he's the one
But you insist I must be wrong, I must be wrong
I have to leave and when I'm gone
I'll leave my message in my song, that's right
Beware, my love, he'll bowl you over
Beware, my love before you're much older, hey
He'll sweep you up under his carpet
You'd be in luck if you could stop it, c'mon now
Beware, my love
Let me tell you
Well, he'll wear you out and in a miniute
You'll hear a shout and then you'll be in it
So, so beware my love, yeah, 'cause he'll take you under
Beware, my love, the sound of his thunder, yeah
I don't believe that he's the one
But you insist I must be wrong, I must be wrong
But I have to leave and when I'm gone
I'll leave my message in my song, that's where I'm gonna leave it
Beware, my love, don'cha know he'll bowl you over
Beware, my love before you're much older, hey
Well, he'll wear you out and in a minute
You'll hear a shout and then you'll be in it, baby gonna leave it
