The Dark I Know Well Lyrics

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 goodnight,
And 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 nothing' yet - gonna treat you right.
It's just you and me.
Child, you're a beauty."
I don't scream. Thought 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 goodnight,
And 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 nothing' yet - gonna treat you right.
It's just you and me.
Child, you're a beauty."

There is a part i can't tell
About the dark I know well.

There is a part i can't tell
About the dark I know well.

There is a part i can't tell
About the dark I know well.

There is a part i can't tell
About the dark I know well...
