[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Spoken]
Lil' darlin', gotta go now
Don't know when I'll be coming back
I got my future all planned out
But Mama will be back
Now listen:
Don't talk to strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night
Remember God - He made you

[Outro]
And one day He'll make everything alright
