Little darling
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
That's just the way it goes
Before I leave you there's just a few things you should know

Don't talk 2 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 yellow
you always got to wait 4 a green light
Remember god he made you
One day he'll make everything alright

Alright
Little darling
Gotta go now
Don't worry you'll be just fine
When it comes 2 good luck
I just know, I just know you'll always be the first in line
Nobody'll ever love you as much as I do
That doesn't mean other people won't love you 2
Don't talk 2 strangers
Don't forget 2 say your prayers at night
Remember god he made you 
And one day he'll make everything alright
Don't cross on yellow
you always got to wait 4 a green light
Remember god he made you
And one day he'll make things alright

Alright
Make everything alright
Alright

Little darling
Gotta go now
Got my future all planned out
Before I go
Don't talk 2 strangers
Don't forget to say your prayers at night
Remember god he made you
One day he'll make everything alright
