Don't Go Down That Street
Boy George · Other Songs - Boy George
In those shoes that squeak
'Cause I get afraid that you might not come home
Careful how you speak
When you're on the street
'Cause they've gone and broken every telephone
Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street
(Sochi-ee-kuna
Sochi-ee-kuna
Sochi-ee-kuna)
Don't go down that street
Where the brave boys meet
'Cause I'm chicken feed when they're on their own
Don't get in that car
Things might go too far
.............................
Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street
