Joan Mercury - Proceed With Caution Lyrics

How can you wake somebody up when they act like they're asleep?
No their faults are not their own no responsibility
A pro at charm and seduction you got a good hold on me
Ya thinking you're better than everyone project your problems on the weak

You say you want love but you play these games
Stroke your ego with anyone
Discredit my feelings to have your way

You're not a lifetime partner you're a lifetime lesson
I had no manual on you or a sign to warn me
To proceed with caution
Proceed with caution

How can you build a life with someone who isn't real?
Thinkin' they're so deserving yet they haven't done a thing
Terrified of the emptiness using fear to get what you need
You're so unmoved by the harm you cause you lack such empathy

You said you want love but you played these games
Stroke your ego with anyone
Discredit my feelings to have your way

You're not a lifetime partner you're a lifetime lesson
I had no manual on you or a sign to warn me
To proceed with caution
Proceed, proceed, proceed
Proceed with caution

Proceed with caution
So you freely take the power I gave ya
Take the power I gave ya
Take the power I gave ya
Take the power I gave ya
So freely
Take the power I gave ya
Take the power I gave ya
Take the power I gave ya
Take the power I gave ya
Freely take the power I gave ya
Take the power I gave ya
Take the power I gave ya
Now I'm taking it back

You're not a lifetime partner you're a lifetime lesson
I had no manual on you or a sign to warn me
To proceed with caution
Proceed, proceed, proceed
Proceed with caution

You said you want love but you play these games
You're not a lifetime partner you're a lifetime lesson
I had no manual on you or a sign to warn me
To proceed with caution
Proceed, proceed, proceed
Proceed with caution

You're not a lifetime partner you're a lifetime lesson
I had no manual on you or a sign to warn me
Proceed with caution oh oh
Proceed with caution
