Lyrics

Don't go out in the street, little girl And don't go out into town You don't know who you'll meet, little girl There are bad men around Your mother, she's in love with you She tells you, you shouldn't go with guys So go to bed at ten, let your mama tuck you in And turn on your Mickey Mouse night-light Then you make it with your mind Don't go out into town, little girl Stay safe in the house, little girl Your mother's stares, and the Enquirer's tales Keep you hiding, denying Don't go into the park, little girl You know those men are all the same Stay inside alone after dark, little girl Boys want just one thing Don't talk about sex, you might get hexed God'll punish you for your dirty mind Now, there is no escaping, and you'd enjoy a raping Just to find out the facts of life Mama says - Maintain your pride Don't go out into town, little girl Stay safe in the house, little girl Your mother's stares, and the Enquirer's tales Keep you hiding, denying Don't go into your mind, little girl The windows, they're only made of glass Don't let me catch you trying to pry, little girl Mirrors of illusion tumble fast You're too far gone for anyone I'd like to help, but I can only sigh You'd best maintain your mama's pride 'Cause you lost yours the time You obeyed when she said "Don't fraternize" No place to hide Don't go out into town, little girl Stay safe in the house, little girl Your mother's stares, and the Enquirer's tales Keep you hiding, denying
