I'm the boogeyman, coming for you in the dead of night Sneaking in your room, giving you a fright I'm the monster under your bed, the one you can't escape You try to run and hide, but I'll always give chase I'm the nightmare in your dreams, the terror in your mind I'll haunt you until the end of time I'm the shadow in the corner, the whisper in the dark I'll leave my mark on you, leave a permanent scar You can try to fight me, but you'll never win I'll always be there, lurking within I'm the fear that grips you, the panic that takes hold I'll never let you go, I'll never be controlled So watch your back, and lock your doors tight Because I'm the boogeyman, and I'll strike tonight
