Les paroles :
Father come home from work
And he’s scared to death
Mother cries for the kid
And the note she read
Father runs to the table
He says « What’s going on »
Mother cries desperately
« Our little baby’s gone ! »
Do you know where your children are ?
Because it’s now 12 o’clock
If they’re somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
Do you know where your children are ?
Because it’s now 12 o’clock
If they’re somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
She wrote that she is tired
Of step daddy unsig her
Saying that he’ll buy her things
While sexually abusing her
Just think that she’s all alone
Somewhere out on the street
How will this girl survive ?
She ain’t got nothing to eat
Do you know where your children are ?
Because it’s now 12 o’clock
If they’re somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
Do you know where your children are ?
Because it’s now 12 o’clock
If they’re somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Now she’s on the move
She’s off to Hollywood
She says she wants to be a star
She heard the money’s good
She gets off from the train station
The man is waiting there
« I’ll show you where the money is, girl just let down your hair »
He’s taking her on the streets
Of Sunset Boulevard
She’s selling her body
Ha girl that will take her far
The police come around the corner
Somebody there told
He’s arresting this little girl
She’s only 12 years old
Do you know where your children are ?
Because it’s now 12 o’clock
If they’re somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
Do you know where your children are ?
Because it’s now 12 o’clock
If they’re somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
