Sittin' on the front porch   Wasting our abundant time   Hoping for a friendly face   To pass and smile   We would even wave   To folks we didn't recognize   Nothin' wrong with being friendly   Things have changed         Chorus:   'Cause I'm remembering a time   When it was alright to smile   When our hearts were never told   To live in constant fear   The days of innocence have gone   Did they tip-toe out the door?   Only thing I know is   I don't talk to strangers anymore         Staring at my feet I   Can't afford to catch your eye   Giving you the wrong impression   'Cause I know danger hides   deep behind the kindest smile   always question its intention   When did I change?         'Cause I'm remembering a time   When it was alright to smile   When our hearts were never told   To live in constant fear   The days of innocence have gone   Did they tip-toe out the door?   Only thing I know is   I don't talk to strangers anymore
