Lyrics:

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, 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
