The Dark I Know Well

There is a part I can't tell

About the dark I know well

You say, "Time for bed now, child"

Mom just smiles that smile

Just like she never saw me

Just like she never saw me

So, I leave, wantin' just to hide

Knowin' deep inside

You are comin' to me

You are comin' to me

You say all you want is just a kiss good night

Then you hold me and you whisper, "Child, the Lord won't mind

It's just you and me

Child, you're a beauty

God, it's good, the lovin'—ain't it good tonight?

You ain't seen nothin' yet, gonna treat you right

It's just you and me

Child, you're a beauty"

I don't scream, though I know it's wrong

I just play along

I lie there and breathe

Lie there and breathe

I wanna be strong

I want the world to find out

That you're dreamin' on me

Me and my "beauty"

Me and my "beauty"

You say all you want is just a kiss good night

Then you hold me and you whisper, "Child, the Lord won't mind

It's just you and me

Child, you're a beauty

God, it's good, the lovin'—ain't it good tonight?

You ain't seen nothin' yet, gonna teach you right

It's just you and me

Child, you're a beauty"
