Happened again, just ´round the corner Friend of a friend, was just there before her It could have so easily been me (Easily been me) On high alert as it gets darker When I hear footsteps, my heart beats harder
You wouldn´t believe the things I´ve seen (Believe the things I´ve seen)
A twelve-minute walk isn´t long But it´s long enough
So I´ll keep, hangin´ on the phone while I´m runnin´ down the road Till I´m safe and back at home again So I´ll cover up my legs ´cause I know what to expect And it´s just not worth me riskin´ it ´Cause we´ve all heard the horror stories No wonder my mom gets worried Why can´t I trust anybody? It´s better to be safe than sorry
I can´t afford to always take a cab
But when I don´t, I always wish I had My knuckles go white around my keys (Around my keys)
You don´t always think when the drinks are still Wearin´ off A twelve-minute walk isn´t long But it´s long enough
So I´ll keep, hangin´ on the phone while I´m runnin´ down the road Till I´m safe and back at home again So I´ll cover up my legs ´cause I know what to expect And it´s just not worth me riskin´ it ´Cause we´ve all heard the horror stories No wonder my mom gets worried Why can´t I trust anybody?
It´s better to be safe than sorry
Ooh (Hey that´s me, just back in now, did you get home okay?) Ooh (Did you just want to stay at mine? Stay safe) Ooh (Hey, it´s me, um, I´ve just got home, I haven´t heard from you) (It was so good to see you tonight, and I just wanted, hey love) Ooh (Text me when you get home, so I know you´re safe) It´s better to be safe than sorry (I´m about to be at the intersection) Ooh (Don´t forget to talk to me when you get home, promise?) Ooh (Um, it was so good to see you tonight, and I just wanted)
Ooh (To make sure you got home alright) Why can´t I trust anybody? It´s better to be safe than sorry
