Dangerous Outside

All is quiet in the city streets tonight
And the shadows on the pavement dance around me in the light
A man comes up to me. He says, “Hey, what’s your name?”
I tell him I’m going on my way and he should do the same
Try to think of what to say, but the words have all abandoned me today
What is a girl to do when all she knew is gone before her eyes?
Don’t ever try to roam beyond your home
It’s dangerous outside
Right when you think you’ve found the way
You’re bound to go astray
And if you’re really wise, you’ll realize
It’s dangerous outside
Moving on, I cross the alley to my right
But the footsteps there behind me keep on stirring in the night
I turn the corner there and what a sight to see
An empty street and a pair of eyes are staring back at me
Try to hurry on my way, but the big, bad wolf is calling me to play
