Lil' darlin', gotta go now
Don't know when I'll be coming back
Got my future all planned out
I got my bags packed
Things don't always turn out right
That's just the way it goes
But before I leave you, there's just a few
Things you should know

Don't talk to strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night
Remember God - He made you
And one day He'll make everything alright
Don't cross on the yellow
You always got to wait for a green light
Remember God - He Made You
And one day He'll make everything alright

Little darlin', gotta go now
Don't worry, you'll be just fine
When it comes to good luck
I know you'll always be first in line
Nobody will ever love you as much as I do
But that doesn't mean other people
Won't love you, too

Don't talk to strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night
Remember God - He made you
And one day He'll make everything alright
Don't cross on the yellow
You always got to wait for a green light
Remember God - He Made You
And one day He'll make everything alright

Little darlin', I gotta go now
I got my future all planned out
But mom'll be back
Now, listen

Don't talk to strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night
Remember God - He made you
And one day He'll make everything alright
