Beware

(album: Tellin' It - 1976)

She's up early in the morning, dialing your phone
About what your man did last night
Now she wouldn't be worried about what your man did
If she had her own thing up tight

Now its all in her plans, to get you fighting your man
Hoping that you put him down
But when he crawls out the door, Lord knows
She'll have him before his feet hit the ground

You better beware of the dog that bring a bone
She's only trying to break up you home
You better beware of the dog that bring a bone
She's only trying to break up you home

She's the leader of the grapevine, always on time
To spread some gossip around
But she's trying to use the one she's talking to
To put the next one down

She'll tell you to watch me, and me to watch you
And that were trying to steal each other's man
But you can be damn sure she'll try to steal them too
If ever she gets the chance

You better beware of the dog that bring a bone
She'll only try to break up you home
You better beware of the dog that bring a bone
She's only trying to break up you home

You know she'll try find a way to pick your mind
And put you on the gossip train
And she'll use what your saying to bring about hate
Between you Shelly, Barbara and Jane

You better beware of the dog that bring a bone
She'll only try to break up you home
You better beware of the dog that bring a bone
She's only trying to break up you home

Beware, beware, beware, beware
Beware, beware, beware, beware
