[00:04.00]
[00:17.76]When I was just a little wide eyed child
[00:22.02]Trying to beat the heat
[00:25.80]I saw that cool clear water running in the creek
[00:33.66]I climbed up on the highest branch in a tall pine tree
[00:40.77]I closed my eyes and held my breath
[00:44.70]And I heard my mama call to me
[00:47.87]She said you better look before you leap
[03:18.41]
[00:52.33]You might find yourself in way too deep
[03:22.39]
[00:56.61]There may be danger that you can't see
[03:26.46]
[01:00.56]You better look before you leap
[01:05.41]Later on, I was growing up
[01:09.41]Talking to my best friend
[01:13.55]I told her I had kissed a boy
[01:17.57]And I wanted to do it again
[01:20.63]She said, let's go see my big sister
[01:25.45]Maybe she can talk some sense
[01:29.04]She's in a world of trouble
[01:32.59]And she's the voice of experience
[01:36.15]Her sister told us look before you leap
[02:25.60]Chances will be taken
[02:29.36]It's easy to go too far
[02:33.56]The more you think about it
[02:37.45]The better off you are
[02:43.37]Now someone's coming with a proposition
[02:47.78]And I think I smell a rat
[02:51.61]I say wait a minute mister
[02:55.72]I want to think about that
[02:59.85]I take a little time to listen
[03:03.30]To the voices inside my head
[03:06.33]It's my mama and my best friend's sister
[03:10.59]And I remember what it was they said
[03:13.98]They said you better look before you leap
