[Verse 1]
You're walking home after school
And this man drives up, and he's acting real cool
He'll say, "You want some candy?" or "Did you need a ride?"
You just say, "No thank you, sir, I'm doing just fine"
He might say, "I know your mamma and your daddy real good
And they sent me to pick you up, and I told 'em I would"
But don't you trust a word that he says
Because he's not your family, and he ain't your friend
Please be careful

[Chorus]
Don't talk to strangers
'Cause you never know ('Cause you never know)
Who you might be talking to (Who you might be talking to)
Don't talk to strangers
'Cause you never know ('Cause you never know)
Who you might bе talking to (Who you might be talking to)

[Verse 2]
You're home alonе, and there's a knock at the door
Hey, just don't open it, ask who it's for!
You can't be too careful when it comes to trust
So beware of strangers, the phonies and the crooks
He might be friendly or call you by name
But don't be no fool and fall for that game
You keep that door locked, that's what it's for
You listen to Mr. T, and I'll tell you the score
[Chorus]
Don't talk to strangers (Don't talk to 'em)
'Cause you never know
Who you might be talking to (Remember what I said)
Don't talk to strangers (This ain't no joke here)
'Cause you never know (I'm very serious)
Who you might be talking to
Don't talk to strangers
Ah, you just never know
Who you might be talking to
Listen to
Listen to Mr. T when he tells you
No, don't talk

[Bridge]
Please don't talk to 'em
Please don't talk to 'em
Please, don't talk to no strangers

[Chorus]
Don't talk to strangers (Don't talk to strangers)
'Cause you never know
Who you might be talking to (That's right, you never know who you're talking to)
Don't talk to strangers (There's a lot of bad people out there)
'Cause you never know
Who you might be talking to (That's right, you never know who you might be talking to)
[Outro]
That's right, when you're walking home after school
You be real careful
'Cause everybody who's dressed up and lookin' pretty
That you never seen
They're not your friends
They're not there to help you
So if you see something wrong, tell your parents
This is Mr. T talking to you
And Mr. T loves you
Remember, boys and girls
Remember what Mr. T says
Don't talk to strangers of any kind
