STREETS AT NIGHT (Robert J. Purvis)
What a night this has turned out to be
Said the wrong thing, now you want to go
Well baby, I'm so sorry
Didn't mean to be so slow
Baby, please don't turn your back on me
It's dark outside and really much too late
You can't walk these streets alone
Young girls don't hang around here on their own
Better keep off, better keep off
Better keep off, better keep off
Streets at night, streets at night
Better keep off, better keep off
Better keep off, better keep off
Streets at night, streets at night
There's danger around every corner
If you listen, you'll find that you may change your mind
Can't we talk it over for awhile?
Who can tell, this evening may survive
Forget that you were leaving
Close the door, come back inside
Baby, take it easy, let it go
Nothing's gonna hurt you while you're here
So say you're gonna stay tonight
And soon the light will slowly reappear
Better keep off, better keep off
Better keep off, better keep off
Streets at night, streets at night
Better keep off, better keep off
Better keep off, better keep off
Streets at night, streets at night
There's danger around every corner
If you listen, you'll find that you may change your mind
Streets at night
Streets at night
Streets at night
Streets at night
Streets at night
Streets at night
Streets at night
Streets at night
Streets at night
Streets at night
