The sky looked blue to me Guess I just couldn't see The writing on the wall, how could I know I was about to fall, well here I go Your smile was just a poker face Said I could never be replaced I guess you told a lie, said we'd always be Together, you and I, but suddenly You say there's a tear Caught me unprepared Next time warn me before I find my heart of the floor Should have known that I don't like surprises, baby Cause I'm still feeling it hard Caught me way off guard Why am I the last to know When baby all I'm asking for is Gimme a heads up, won't you, won't you Gimme a heads up, oh Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up Before you tear me down Too late, it isn't fair Came straight from out of nowhere Don't even get the chance to play my part Come from behind and smash my fragile heart You say it's for the best That way you get it over fast It's just a little rip when you catch me blind You pull the band-aid quick but baby I Still don't see the tear But you're sure it's there
Next time warn me before I find my heart of the floor Should have known that I don't like surprises, baby Cause I'm still feeling it hard Caught me way off guard Why am I the last to know When baby all I'm asking for is Gimme a heads up, won't you, won't you Gimme a heads up, oh Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up Before you tear me down You thought it'd be easy, you thought it'd be clean Snap me awake while I'm still dreaming my dream Escape on your own terms, just start moving on You're miles away, here I am thinking nothing is wrong Yeah Next time warn me before I find my heart of the floor Should have known that I don't like surprises, baby Cause I'm still feeling it hard Caught me way off guard Why am I the last to know When baby all I'm asking for is Gimme a heads up, won't you, won't you Gimme a heads up, oh Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up Before you tear me down Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up Before you tear me down
