Don't Put All Your Dreams in One Basket
Guarding Hearts: Embracing Caution in Love's Journey
Lyrics
Now don't put all your dreams in one basket.
Cautioning against concentrating all aspirations in one place.
Don't put all your hope in one heart
Advising not to invest all hope in a single person.
Fie if you discover
Expressing disappointment if one finds their beloved loves another.
That she loves another
Suggesting a potential failure if the loved one is already committed elsewhere.
You'll be licked before you start.
Warning that the outcome may be unfavorable from the beginning.
Now don't put all your dreams in one basket.
Reiterating the advice to diversify dreams, not concentrating solely on one aspect.
Love is such a fragile thing
Highlighting the delicate nature of love.
And if you should break it
Questioning one's ability to handle a broken heart.
Are you sure you can take it?
Challenging the listener's resilience in the face of heartbreak.
How would your heart forget to sing?
Pondering the possibility of losing the joy in one's heart.
Don't put all your dreams in one basket.
Repeating the warning against overcommitting to a single dream.
Don't upset your applecart.
Advising against disrupting one's stability or plans.
She may think she's clever
Suggesting that the partner might believe they are clever and leave.
And leave you forever.
Implying the potential permanence of a partner's departure.
Then what will you tell your heart?
Posing a question about what one would say to their own heart after a breakup.
So don't put your dreams in one basket.
Reiterating the importance of diversifying dreams and not relying on a single plan.
Best made plans may go astray
Acknowledging that even well-made plans may not always succeed.
If you play for hard stakes
Warning about the potential for heartache when playing for high stakes in love.
You might play with heartaches
Connecting risky endeavors in love with potential emotional pain.
Never throw your dreams away
Advising against discarding dreams, emphasizing their value.
Never throw your dreams away.
Reiterating the importance of holding onto one's dreams despite challenges.
