Kenny Loggins
If You Be Wise
[Verse 1]
See her candle
Waver in the window of her summer night
Lying on the breeze
She tries to fall asleep
Flights of fancy
Dancing through her memories like Arabian Nights
He is riding on his wings of fire
And flies away
She can still hear him say

[Chorus]
If you'll be wise
If you'll be smart
Don't let a travelin' man take your heart
Take my advice
Don't let it start
You'll think you're different from the rest
You'll try to do your part
Until he breaks your heart

[Verse 2]
Lunch for the lonely
Looking at picture postcards of someone else's scene
Somehow they don't seem real
The sea's too green
Somebody calls her
Giving out information
About the boy on the moon
Suddenly it's all too much
To be told
What she already knows
[Chorus 2]
If you'll be wise
If you'll be smart
Don't let a travelin' man take your heart
Take my advice
Don't let it start
'Cause you've been told too many times

If you'll be wise
If you'll be smart
Don't let a travelin' man take your heart
Take my advice
Don't let it start
'Cause you've been told too many times

[Chorus 3]
If you'll be wise
If you'll be smart
Don't let a travelin' man take your heart
Take my advice
Don't let it start
'Cause when he comes and needs a friend
He'll do it all again

[Outro]
Better be smart
He's breakin' your heart
Find you another lover
Better be wise
And open your eyes
This time
