Look Before You Leap Lyrics - Roadside Attractions - Marcia Ball

When I was just a little wide eyed child 

Trying to beat the heat 

I saw that cool clear water running in the creek 

I climbed up on the highest branch in a tall pine tree 

I closed my eyes and held my breath 

And I heard my mama call to me 

She said you better look before you leap 

You might find yourself in way too deep 

There may be danger that you can't see 

You better look before you leap

Later on, I was growing up 

Talking to my best friend 

I told her I had kissed a boy 

And I wanted to do it again 

She said, let's go see my big sister 

Maybe she can talk some sense 

She's in a world of trouble 

And she's the voice of experience 

Her sister told us look before you leap 

You might find yourself in way too deep 

There may be danger that you can't see 

You better look before you leap 

Chances will be taken 

It's easy to go too far 

The more you think about it 

The better off you are

Now someone's coming with a proposition 

And I think I smell a rat 

I say wait a minute mister 

I want to think about that 

I take a little time to listen 

To the voices inside my head 

It's my mama and my best friend's sister 

And I remember what it was they said 

They said you better look before you leap 

You might find yourself in way too deep 

There may be danger that you can't see 

You better look before you leap
