Verse 1
What if you see a guy in town
Who wants his puppy found?
What do you do when he asks for help
And no one is around?
Take three steps back
Take three steps back
That's how you can begin
Take three steps back
Take three steps back
Then run
like the windChorus 1
Tricky People,
Tricky, Tricky People
They look like
you and meTricky People,
Tricky, Tricky People
Are bent where you can't see
Verse 2
What if a guy shows you a badge
And he says he's a cop?
Now, what should you do?
How do you check?
Before you go - you stop!
Call 9-1-1
Or call "0"
That's how you can begin
And if they say "No!"
Take three steps back,
Then run
like the windChorus 1
Tricky People
Tricky, Tricky People
They look like
you and meTricky People
Tricky, Tricky People
Are bent where you can't see
Verse 3
What if a guy gives you some cash
If you'll go with him now?
What if the little
voice inside of you
Says "No sir!," "No way!," "No how!"
Take three steps back
Take three steps back
That's how you can begin
Take three steps back
Take three steps back
Chorus 2
Tricky People, Tricky, Tricky People
Have pain down in their heart
They're Tricky People
They can't fool me
"'Cause I'm too smart
