My monster never loves me so Let me tell you how I know And when the scary things come out To wave their arms and scream and shout She tells me, "Don't be frightened, dear" And shows me how to disappear Mother, I'd like to think When I weep, you weep Does he haunt you like he haunts me? Every night when you fall asleep And when the moon sits in the sky She sings a monster lullaby Things that shriek and moan and creep Soothing things to help me sleep Mother, I'd like to think When I weep, you weep Does he haunt you like he haunts me? Every night when you fall asleep My monster never loves me so Let me tell you how I know
