Father comes 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 stepdaddy using her
Saying that he'll buy her things, while sexually abusin' 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 (from this living hell)
Save me ('cause I, I wanna heal)
Save me (I'm tired and I'm mad)
Save me ('cause this is not a joke)
Save me (I'm out on the road)
Save me ('cause I, I wanna go)
Save me (I'm tired of your lies)
Save me ('cause I, I wanna be)
Save me
Now she's on the move, she's off to Hollywood
She says she wanna be a star, she heard the money's good
She gets off from the train station, a 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 you far
The police come 'round the corner, somebody there had told
He's arresting this little girl that's only twelve 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
Do you know where your children are?
Do you know where your children are?
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
Where's your baby?
Where's your baby?
Where's your baby?
Children are
Where's your baby?
Do you know where your children are? (Where your children are)
Because it's now 12 o'clock (Where your children are)
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's your baby
Know where your children are
Know where your children
Just a baby, just a baby
She's just a baby, she's just a baby
