Lock Up Your Daughters
Slade · The Very Best Of Slade [2005]
Yeh yeh yeh
Sometimes you're acting the fool
Sometimes you're breaking the rules
Sometimes you want to run away
Sometimes you stay out of school
But it's a dirty old town and you know where it's where we all belong,
Tell your mama back home coz she was just the same when she was young
I want to give you some advice,,,
Lock up your daughters right now
It will give you a smile on your face
Lock up your daughters somehow
This is the time – the time and the place.
Sometimes you whip up a storm
Don't get to bed until dawn
Sometimes you get a little high
You'll wish you'd never been born
Well it's a crazy old world everybody's got to get along
Tell your mama back home coz she was just the same when she was young
I tell you right now.
Lock up your daughters right now
It will give you a smile on your face
Lock up your daughters somehow
This is the time – the time and the place.
You'd better lock up your daughters right now
It will give you a smile on your face
Lock up your daughters somehow
This is the time – the time and the place.
Lock up your daughters right now
It will give you a smile on your face
Lock up your daughters somehow
This is the time – the time and the place.
