Texas are Scottish band fronted by singer Sharleen Spiteri. The band was founded by Johnny McElhone taking their name from the 1984 Wim Wenders movie Paris, Texas. Their musical sound went from blues rock from debut album Southside (1989), via blue eyed soul of White on Blonde (1997) to the disco pop of their most recent release Red Book (2005). Sharleen Spiteri (vocals, guitar), Ally McErlaine (guitar), Johnny McElhone (bass) have survived all line ups. In 1994, Ellen DeGeneres requested the use of the Texas track "So Called Friend" as the theme tune for her self-titled ABC Comedy Show.

Careful What You Wish for Lyrics

Texas

Just lately I've had a go
To find me a new world and candy home
All I needed was a little affection for my soul

Hey, maybe it's time to go
I should have told you a couple of years ago
And I know what's gonna play on my mind

So I'll meet you on the floor
Are you ready for some more?

Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for

Tell me who do you think you see?
Am I still the girl that you thought I'd be?
Do you care that I might be for real?

Hey, maybe it's time to go
I should have told you a couple of years ago
And I know what's gonna play on my mind

So I'll meet you on the floor
Are you ready for some more?

Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for

INSTRUMENTAL

Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for

You're wish, it may come true!
You're wish, it may come true!
You're wish, it may come true!
You're wish, it may come true!
