they might chuckle
when girls go together
they might whistle
when girls go alone
they might follow
when a girl goes home
you check the checklist
you laugh to yourself
you know it's crazy
till you see it in the news
you have to wonder
will he slip me
a pill in my drink?
you have to wonder
will he rape me
when I can't think?
you have to wonder
will he stalk me?
will I be beaten?
you have to wonder
will he carve me
will I be eaten?
you check the checklist
you laugh to yourself
you know it's crazy
till you see it in the news
you have to wonder
will he dump me
out in the park?
you have to wonder
will they find me
dead in the dark?
you have to wonder
what will it be?
what will it be?
you have to wonder
will it be me?
will it be me?
you check the checklist
you laugh to yourself
you know it's crazy
till you see it in the news
keep off the street
keys in your fist
lock up the car
and drive like hell
