Why do you keep tellin' your parents to check under your bed?
Don't you know I only wanna be your friend?
So what I, got a bad rap, don't pretend
That nobody's ever talked behind your back
I'm under every kid's bed
I've heard every mean thing they've ever said
About you, they talk about me too
Let me be there for you
Sorry, did I make you scream?
I'm the boogeyman
I can feel your heart beat racing
Blood pressure starts raising
You're scared of me?
That's not surprising
You, always buying these night lights
Ruinin' the plans that I have for tonight
I just wanna hang out for a while
Give me a chance and I will make you smile
Give me a chance and I will make you smile
I know it's kinda scary whenever your body won't move
But that's the only time I get to talk to you
Sleep paralysis is the only thing I can do
To get through to you
You're crying in your pillow, I know what you going through
Wish I could comfort you
But there's nothing I can do
Except watch you
I'm under every kid's bed
I've heard every mean thing they've ever said about you
They talk about me too
Let me be there for you
Sorry, did I make you scream?
I'm the boogeyman
I can feel your heart beat racing
Blood pressure starts raising
You're scared of me?
That's not surprising
You, always buying these night lights
Ruinin' the plans that I have for tonight
I just wanna hang out for a while
Give me a chance and I will make you smile
Give me a chance and I will make you smile
It's always "go away, go away"
"I don't want you to stay"
"Go away, go away"
I'm rejected everyday
It's always "go away, go away"
"I don't want you to stay"
"Go away, go away"
I never liked you anyway
I've given up this time
If you want me to be mean
I'll be the meanest thing you've ever seen
The baddest guy there's ever been
After all, that's what you think of me
I'll be the baddest guy you've ever seen
I'll make you scream
I'll make run back to mommy
I'll have you running right back to mommy
