~Careful~
be careful what you say to me
your words, they carry weight
your opinion,my epiphany
your disapproval slams my brakes
so please just tell me that i'm wonderful
and i'll believe the words you say
somehow your esteem for me
affects my esteem of self
if you tell me that you love me
I will know that it is true
suddenly i don't feel so foolish
your words allow me to love you
i am so simple that you figure me
divide me by myself
multiply my deep desire
and subtract away my doubt
you be the subject of my studies
and you school me every day
give credit for attendance
as i attend to all your pains
i call you teacher, mentor
Love, you are the water in my rain
and if you tell me jump, and ask me
I would bring back saturn's rings
beautiful, you hold the power
so, be careful what you say
