Sidewalk Talk

Watch where you walk, 'cause the sidewalks talk
And you can't keep a secret from the ground beneath you
Step very lightly on the earth below
Or before you know it, everyone will know
Streets were paved with a thousand eyes
And try as you may, you can't disguise
There's only two things that you can't hide from
That's you and the ground you're walking on

Watch where you walk, 'cause the sidewalks talk
You better watch what you do, what you do
'Cause the sidewalk talk can get carried away
You better watch what you say, what you say (whoo!)

Think when you speak, 'cause you got along the street
They can read what you say, so you gotta stay away
From words that sting, words are not true
And the things you say make a fool of you
Little white lies make the sidewalk cry
And you can betray with the things you say
Words won't last when you say 'em too fast
And you've been misled by the things you've said

Watch where you walk, 'cause the sidewalks talk
You better watch what you do, what you do
'Cause the sidewalk talk can get carried away
You better watch what you say, what you say

When you're living on the street, life can be full of misery
Find a place to call your own, make your heart into a home
You can do it (oh), uh-huh, you can do it, uh-huh
You can do it, uh-huh, you can do it, uh-huh
You can do it

After every word, there's a place that heard
Every time your shoe hits the avenue
And when you've gone, they'll sing a song
And the stories you told when you felt so bold
You better think twice when you cross the ice
Everything you do comes back to you
When you're shedding a tear, sidewalks will hear
When your laughter's true, they'll run with you

Watch where you walk, 'cause the sidewalks talk
You better watch what you do, what you do
'Cause the sidewalk talk can get carried away
Watch what you say, what you say (ha!)

Sidewalk talk (let me tell you 'bout sidewalk talk)
