Neil Diamond: Don't Go There

She wants to take it just a little bit further now
Don't let it happen,
'Cause if you let her in,
She's gonna take it away
Makin' you pay.
And what are you gonna say?
You better beware
And don't go there.

Don't wanna let her play with what belongs to you
'Cause if you let her play with you know what
You know what she's gonna do
She's gonna take it from you
That's just what she's gonna do
I don't know where
And don't go there.

The voice is sitting on my shoulder and telling me
The night is warm now but it might be getting colder
Better look out friend
Before you finally decide which way to go
I hope you stop and review
The scenario and how it ends
So just take care
And don't go there.

Alright...

Don't say I didn't warn you my friend.
If you think it'll last
May be time to start thinking again.
You're lookin' for love and you think that you'll find it soon
You're looking to put it away in the bank and save it
Follows you around like the odor of cheap perfume
You're paying a price when your heart has been misbehavin'
Don't go there
Don't go there.

You'll want to play it safe
And make no promises
If she understands the rules of the game but maybe work out fine
But baby take your time and don't you be unkind
But till that's clear
Then don't go there.

This thing is liable to take some funny turns
The only thing -- a real concern to me
Is having you protect yourself
It's not like either one of you is flying blind
But in the heat of things,
You got to apply your mind to something else.
No, life ain't fair
Don't go there.

Once you're in, you might not get out.
He he he he

You're looking for love in the back of a limousine
You're looking for something that's missing inside to fill you.
If you think you can run on the power of nicotine
They got a new drug for your mood that'll surely thrill you.
Don't go there
Don't go there

This ain't the Bible, and it ain't no moral tale
If it's a lesson in survival, you can learn it
If it's not too late
But don't you wait
Or hesitate
The lesson's clear
Please don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there.
