Joan Mercury – Proceed With Caution lyrics

(Verse 1)
How can you wake somebody up when they act like they're asleep?
No their faults are not their own no responsibility
A pro at charm and seduction you got a good hold on me
Ya thinking you're better than everyone project your problems on the weak

(Pre Chorus)
You say you want love but you play these games
Stroke your ego with anyone
Discredit my feelings to have your way (your way)

(Chorus)
You're not a lifetime partner you're a lifetime lesson
I had no manual on you or a sign to warn me
To proceed with caution
Proceed with caution

(Verse 2)
How can you build a life with someone who isn't real?
Thinkin' they're so deserving yet they haven't done a thing
Terrified of the emptiness using fear to get what you need
You're so unmoved by the harm you cause you lack such empathy

(Pre-Chorus)
You said you want love but you played these games
Stroke your ego with anyone
Discredit my feelings to have your way (your way)

(Chorus)
You're not a lifetime partner you're a lifetime lesson
I had no manual on you or a sign to warn me
To proceed with caution (proceed, proceed, proceed)
Proceed with caution

(Bridge)
(Proceed with caution)
So you freely take the power I gave ya
Take the power I gave ya
Take the power I gave ya (gave ya)
Take the power I gave ya (gave ya)
(So freely)
Take the power I gave ya (gave ya)
Take the power I gave ya (gave ya)
Take the power I gave ya (gave ya)
Take the power I gave ya (gave ya)
(Freely take the power I gave ya)
Take the power I gave ya (gave ya)
Take the power I gave ya (gave ya)
Take the power I gave ya (gave ya)
Now I'm taking it back

(Chorus)
You're not a lifetime partner you're a lifetime lesson
I had no manual on you or a sign to warn me
To proceed with caution (proceed, proceed, proceed)
Proceed with caution

(You said you want love but you play these games)
You're not a lifetime partner you're a lifetime lesson
I had no manual on you or a sign to warn me
To proceed with caution (proceed, proceed, proceed)
Proceed with caution

You're not a lifetime partner you're a lifetime lesson
I had no manual on you or a sign to warn me
Proceed with caution oh oh
Proceed with caution
