(Catherine Buchanan:) 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
Think when you speak 'cause you gotta 'long 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 mislead 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
(Madonna:) 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
(Catherine Buchanan:) After every word there's a place that heard Every time your shoe hits the avenue And when you're gone they'll sing a song Of 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 You better watch what you say, what you say
