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 cant 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, lets go see my big sister Maybe she can talk some sense Shes in a world of trouble And shes 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 cant see You better look before you leap Chances will be taken Its easy to go too far The more you think about it The better off you are Now someones 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 Its my mama and my best friends 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 cant see You better look before you leap
