Be Careful

At the age of nine my father said to me
Son youre growing fine Im very proud to see
Soon a man youll be with all the zest for life
But your greatest test will be to choose a wife
Be careful, son be careful. All that glitters isnt gold
Be careful. Son be careful, movin round toward the young and the old
You must watch them twice
That is my advice
Youll find theyre nice from far, but far from nice.
Marriage is not a sport, it is no game to play
Once they have you caught, its hard to get away
Behind every great man theres a woman, thats true
But she has a hand in every downfall too
Every lady is a woman though natures act
But every woman is not a lady and that is a fact!
To comprehend the difference it will take a lot,
For they both pretend to be what they are not.
