An old guitar picker had run out liquor So I sat down beside him and bought him a drink I bought him another and finally some color Returned to his cheeks as he said with a wink I worked with Red Foley, knew Hank and ole Lefty I worked on the Opry back when it was strong But in showbiz, you know, sometimes it gets slow So buy us another and I'll sing you a song Be careful who you love For love can be untrue Be careful who you love Be sure she loves you too Well, you like that, I see, that's pleasing to me Son I've wrote hundreds and some you know well I've wrote 'em and sold 'em, they've bought 'em and stole 'em Paper is cheap, they're just tunes what the hell And then he offered to sell me the song he just sung me I told him that song is a piece of your soul Keep your song, here's some money He said "thank you son" and I heard him say as I walked out the door Be careful who you love For love can be untrue Be careful who you love Be sure she loves you too Well that was about a year ago, now wouldn't you know It's a big hit some superstar claims he wrote He sings it and grins and money rolls in It's a wonder the lyric don't stick in his throat And I think of that writer named Arthur and wonder Just how many children he sold in his time And how many great men take the gift that God gave 'em And throw it away on the pretty red wine Be careful who you love For love can be untrue Be careful who you love Be sure she loves you too Be careful who you love For love can be untrue Be careful who you love Be sure she loves you too Be sure she loves you too
