Be Careful Who You Love (arthur’s Song) Lyrics - Hank Williams Jr.

The old guitar picker had run out of liquor 

So I sat down beside him and bought him a drink 

Then I bought him another and finally some color 

Returned to his cheeks and he said with a wink 

"Son, I worked with your daddy, I knew Ernest and ol' Lefty 

I played on the Oprey back when it was strong 

But it's show-biz you know, sometimes it gets slow 

So buy me 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 it, I see and that's real pleasin' to me 

'Cause Bocephus, I've wrote hundreds and some you know well 

I wrote and sold 'em, they bought 'em and stoled 'em 

But paper is cheap, why they're just tunes, what the heck 

Then he tried to sell me the song he'd just song me 

I told him that song is a piece of your soul 

"Keep your song, here's some money", said Hank Jr. 

"Bless you, son" 

And I heard him singin' as I walked out the door 

He said, "Now Hank remember" 

"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 and now friends wouldn't ya know 

The songs a big hit, some superstar claims he wrote 

He sings it and grins and the money rolls in 

It's a wonder the words don't stick in his throat

Now I think of that writer, his name was Arthur and I often wonder 

Just how many hit songs he sold in his time 

And how many men take the gift that God gave 'em 

And throw it away for the pretty red wine, quite a few 

Be careful who you love, for love can be untrue 

Be careful who you love, be sure she loves you too
