There's heartaches around every corner
  You got to look before you leap
  There's heartaches around every corner

  Well, one fine day I met this girl
  And she was oh so fine
  Well, she said "Boy, I'm gonna love, love, love you"
  "a-for a long, long time"
  Now I said "a-wait, huh, wait, oh, wait, whoa! wait"

  You got to look before you leap
  There's heartaches around every corner
  You got to look before you leap
  There's heartaches around every corner

  Well, she said "Right, I'm gonna prove you're wrong"
  "Just you wait and see"
  "Now take my hand and look into my eyes"
  "And you will disagree"
  But I said "now wait, huh, wait, oh, wait, yes! wait"

  You got to look before you leap
  There's heartaches around every corner
  You got to look before you leap
  There's heartaches around every corner

  Mmm, now that she has seen the light
  And it was understood
  'Cause the very next day she walked away
  With someone else like I knew she would
  So I said "now look, huh, look, oh, look, whoa! look"

  You got to look before you leap, believe me baby
  There's heartaches around every corner
  You got to look before you leap, I'm tellin' you now
  There's heartaches around every corner

  So look, mmm look, look before you leap
