don't go walking alone, don't go out at night
won't you just stay home, lock your doors tight

oh, when I was young, we were not afraid to run and play
didn't need mother and we had our time to celebrate

don't go walking alone, don't go out at night
won't you just stay home, lock your doors tight

now that I've grown older I've become aware
a little scared, too many widows, popping up everywhere

don't go walking alone, don't go out at night
won't you just stay home, lock your doors tight

I hide from the world that surrounds me
I'm blind to the ways of reality

I just want the world how it should be

I don't go walking alone, don't go out at night
won't you just stay home, lock your doors tight
