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
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 goodnight
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"

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
