Twelve O'clock
Jay · Other Songs - Jay
father runs to the table, said "what's going on"
mother cries desperatly, our baby's gone!
Do you know where your children are?
Because it's not 12 o'clock, and they're somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
Do you know where your children are?
Because it's not 12 o'clock, and they're somewhere out on the street.
Just imagine how scared they are
She wrote that it's positive that they're using her
singing by her face, while sexually abusing her
just think she's out all alone on the streets
how did this girl survive
she got nothing
Do you know where your children are?
Because it's not 12 o'clock, and they're somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
Do you know where your children are?
Because it's not 12 o'clock, and they're somewhere out on the street.
Just imagine how scared they are
Save me from this day now
save me cause I don't know what to do
save me from (?) a man
save me from cause I don't wanna go
As shes on the move she off to Hollywood
she said she wanna be a star she heard the money's good
she gets off at the train station, the man is waiting there
I'll show you where the money is
girl just let down your hair
hes taking her on the streets of sunset boulevard
Do you know where your children are?
Because it's not 12 o'clock, and they're somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
Do you know where your children are?
Because it's not 12 o'clock, and they're somewhere out on the street.
Just imagine how scared they are
