There's a boogeyman lurking outside my door, and I can hear him breathe
You say he's not real, but there's something going on outside
That old boogeyman's lurking outside my door,
And I can see his shadow
Yes I can see his shadow
Oh I can see his shadow
I'm pretty safe right now but I'm sure this lock won't last until I die
'Till the day I die
Dread me, dread me, dread me, dread me, dread me
He's coming back to my life
There's a woman with a dagger outside my door, she's cut my neck before
I best remember that before I open it up
That old girl's gonna show up around my place
And I can see her shadow
Oh I can see her shadow
Oh I can see
And on the day she shows her face, I'm not sure if I'll make love to her
Or if I'll call the cops
I better call the cops
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me
She's coming back to my life
Oh, that old man in the mirror, his face is red
Oh, that old man in the mirror, and the places he could have gone
Had he only sang his song
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And I'm afraid of the light, and I'm afraid of tomorrow
I'm afraid of being alone cause I'm afraid of the nerds and I'm afraid of the preps
I'm afraid of the things I might forget
I'm afraid of the love I might not get
I'm afraid of the folks that I forgave, and I'm afraid of the memories I save
I'm afraid when the nurse says open wide
I'm afraid of the ugliness inside
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh
