Ohhh Ahhh...      There's a man outside my door tonight   He cries for help, he sings a pleadin' song   The times are tough for everyone   Gotta hold on to what I got, and just kinda cruise along      Well, I do    Want to be helpful   But it's cold and I'm told    You can't be too careful      Out of the mouth of a mother   And into the hands of a brother   And into the heart of a lover   And out of the hands of another   Do do do do do       You can never tell who your neighbour is   Or what he's doin' tonight   Or who his friends are   Well, you don't know where he's from   Or where he?s been, or who he knows   You know you can't be too careful   These days      Well, I do   Want to be helpful   Well but it's cold and I'm told   It might just be the devil      Out of the mouth of a mother   And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)   Into the heart of a lover   And out of the hands of another      Well, I don't take chances   And I don't take time to see   And I don't take nothin' from nobody   No way, not me      Do do do do do   Ho ah ...   Do do do do do do do      Out of the mouth of a mother    And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)   Into the heart of a lover    And out of the hands of another (do do do do do)   Out of the mouth of a mother    Ho ...   And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)   Into the heart of a lover    Ho ...   And out of the hands of a child      Into the eyes of a child   Into the ears of a child   Into the heart of a child   Do do do do do   Into the heart of a child   Do do do do do   Into the heart of a child
