Lil' darlin', gotta go now

Don't know when I'll be coming back

Got my future all planned out

Got my bags packed

Things don't always turn out right

But that's just the way it goes

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



Lil' darlin', gotta go now

Don't worry, you'll be just fine

When it comes to good luck

I just 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
