Careful lyrics

Crying on the inside So many men but so unhappy Gave my love to any man who smiled at me, yeah yeah I played the game of love with no rules And when it was all over, I was the fool Somehow I had to get it right just one time (For once in my life) for once in my life I was (careful) careful (For once in my life) show me how much you care and I'm (thankful) thankful (For once in my life) I'm so glad I was (careful) careful, yeah (For once in my life) Now I have a love a so sweet and I'm so (grateful) grateful, yeah With a closed heart, I wouldn't let emotions tear me apart I had to have the upper hand To be cruel, to be hard, I didn't care to man And ooh, I was still hurting inside, hanging on to pride I just about died when you found me and gave me good love And now I know I did the right thing (For once in my life) oh, for once in my life I was (careful) careful, yeah (For once in my life) You've shown me how much you care and I'm (thankful) so thankful, baby (For once in my life) I'm so glad I was (careful) careful, yeah (For once in my life) Now I have a love a so sweet and I'm so (grateful) grateful, yeah
