Don't Talk To Strangers Lyrics

When you were just a young girl and still in school
How come you never learned the golden rule
Don’t talk to strange men, don’t be a fool
I’m hearing stories, I don’t think that’s cool

Why don’t you tell me, someone is loving you
Cause you’re my girl, some say it’s no longer true
You’re seeing some slick continental dude
I’m begging you, please

Don’t talk to strangers, baby don’t you talk
Don’t talk to strangers, you know he’ll only use you up
Don’t talk, don’t talk, don’t talk,
Don’t talk, don’t talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody, ever told you, don’t talk

Now tell me, how’s life in the big city
I hear the competition’s tough, baby that’s a pity
And every man’s an actor, every girl is pretty
I don’t like what’s getting back to me

Now who’s this, don juan I’ve been hearing of
Love hurts when only one’s in love
Did you fall at first sight or did you need a shove
I’m begging you, please

Don’t talk to strangers, baby don’t you talk
Don’t talk to strangers, you know he’ll only use you up
Don’t talk, don’t talk, don’t talk,
Don’t talk, don’t talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, don’t talk

*fais l’amour avec moi (*make love to me)
What’s he saying baby
*viens dormir, mon amour (*come to sleep my love)
I asked you not to talk to him
*je t’aime donne moi ton coeur ce soir (*i like you to give me your heart this night)
I’m begging you

Don’t talk to strangers, baby don’t you talk
Don’t talk to strangers, you know he’ll only use you up
Don’t talk, don’t talk, don’t talk,
Don’t talk, don’t talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, don’t talk

Don’t talk to strangers, baby don’t you talk
Don’t talk to strangers, you know he’ll only use you up
Don’t talk to strangers, baby don’t you,
Baby don’t you talk,
Don’t talk to strangers

Rick Springfield seems to write a lot of songs about jealousy. He wants Jessie's girl but don't talk to his!

This song is so poorly written. Almost every line is cringeworthy. Especially, "Now who's this Don Juan I've been hearing of? Love hurts when only one's in love." Jarring shift there. At least it rhymes.

Oh yeah, and when was the Golden Rule changed?

Wow, I might have gotten a lot of the words wrong. I heard "some slick pumpernickel dude" and "who's this someone I've been hearing of". I was going to ask what a pumpernickel dude was, but um that's probably not the actual lyric!

@kyrasdad Continental Dude, as in one who globally gets around... Surprised from what I see, nobody seems to care about their significant other flirting around, whereas I always wince away from these girls that are taken (maybe invested in) especially when their man is around... -- Dave
