Erasure
Careful What I Try to Do
[Verse 1]
Careful what I try to do
I'm a cynic, yeah, but I would die for you
You said it by the feel upon your face
I'm never gonna call out what you say
I look shattered by the book
You never were defeated by a fool
Where each other beat about the place
All we gotta do is seize the day

[Pre-Chorus]
You're everywhere
Take me now
Beautiful

[Chorus]
You got fortitude
And you find the means
When you care about
The important things
And you came along
At the perfect time
When I needed you
I was on my knees

[Verse 2]
I ain't never met a muse
Before you came along, created new
Simply brought the nest right outta me
Never thought it possible to see
I'm so proud to be with you
Although we have our differing views
Leave our reservations at the door
Then you lead me shyly to the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
You're everywhere
Take me now
Beautiful

[Chorus]
You got fortitude
And you find the means
When you care about
The important things
And you came along
At the perfect time
When I needed you
I was on my knees

[Pre-Chorus]
You're everywhere
Take me now
Beautiful

[Chorus]
You got fortitude
And you find the means
When you care about
The important things
And you came along
At the perfect time
When I needed you
I was on my knees
You got fortitude
And you find the means
You look out for me
Should have always been
And you came along
At the perfect time
When I needed you
I was on my knees
