Lyrics:

There's a man outside my door tonight

He cries for help he sings a pleading song

Well times are tough for everyone

Gotta hold on to what I got

And just kind of 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

Into the hands of a brother

Into the heart of a lover

And out of the hands of another.


You can never tell who your neighbour is

Or what he's doin' at night 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

Whoa but it's cold

And I'm told he might just be the devil


Well I don't take chances

And I don't take time to see

And I don't take nothing

From nobody

No way - not me


Into the eyes of a child

Into the ears of a child

Into the heart of a child
