I don’t know you
So I don’t trust you
So don’t get mad with me
If I don’t share my identity
Too many slickies and evil folk in this world
Don’t know who’s friend or foe
Gotta watch out, gotta allow myself to grow
Grow in wisdom, grow in knowledge
Can’t be sharing my info
Can’t tell you what you want to know
The question required a yes or no
And I say no
And whatever I say, will go
I’m trying my best, I care about my security
Don’t want to be a greenhorn
Or a person succumbing to naivety
Gotta stop smiling all the time
Gotta stop being so easy, so timid
People don’t care nothing about my life
So my conversation must come to a limit
Nowadays, it should be yay and nay
Hi and bye
If you tell people too much
Then, you can kiss your rep goodbye
