Forget Those Warnings

Forget those warnings from the FBI
If you hear a baby's cry outside
In the dead of night - don't go out there.
Sure. That's going to be easy to ignore. 

The second I hear a baby’s cry
I will not remember it could be a trick. I am going out there to save that baby.
I have read this is how serial killer get their victims out of their houses.

I don't care!  The second I hear a baby, 
I will run outside, in the dead of night, in my pajamas. 
Without any thought of myself.

If there is a serial killer out here,
He can rest easy. He has his pick of the litter.
There are six women out here searching for that baby.
