Lucky Dube - Choose Your Friends Lyrics

Danny got out of
The yellow school bus
Looking so sad today
You see it on his face

Mommy and Daddy have been fighting again
Every time they fight
He's caught in the middle of it all

He has dreams
Like every little boy
In the world
But right now his main dream
Is to get out of here

Is to make Mommy and Daddy disappear forever
He doesn't wanna hear those angry voices anymore

Danny
Be careful
What you wish for
You might just
Get it
Be careful
Oh, oh, oh

(You can choose your friends)
(But you cannot choose)
(Who you're related to)

(Choose your friends)
(But you cannot choose)
(Who you're related to)

(Choose your friends)
(But you cannot choose)
(Who you're related to)

He goes up to his room
He's not feeling good today
But it's no use telling
Nobody listens here

No use complaining
Nobody cares around here

Little boys go to sleep and pray
For toys and candy
He prays for one thing
God, I need a miracle down here
Will you make
Mommy and Daddy disappear forever?

Danny, be careful
What you wish for
You might just
Get it
Be careful
What you wish for (What you wish for)
Be careful
Oh, oh, oh

(You can choose your friends)
(But you cannot choose)
(Who you're related to)

(Choose your friends)
(But you cannot choose)
(Who you're related to)

(Choose your friends)
(But you cannot choose)
(Who you're related to)
