Boogie Man

Mama used to warn me 'bout the shadows in the dark Said the Boogie Man's out there better guard your heart He don't look like trouble but don't let him fool your eyes One step too close and he'll catch you by surprise Now I'm older and the story's changed a bit A woman's got the power and Lord she's quick With eyes like fire and a voice so sweet She'll pull you under knock you off your feet She's the Boogie Man hiding in plain sight Wearing danger like a dress that fits just right She'll make you think it's love but it's only a scam Better step aside let her go by- She's the Boogie Man Saw her last Friday leaning by the bar Batting those lashes like a movie star Guys lined up like moths drawn to the flame But I saw the signs and I knew the game 'Cause beauty like that don't come without a cost She'll lead you in circles till you're good and lost Whispering promises she'll never keep Turn your heaven into a restless sleep She's the Boogie Man hiding in plain sight Wearing danger like a dress that fits just right She'll make you think it's love but it's only a scam Better step aside let her go by- She's the Boogie Man I've seen good men fall and lose their way Thinking they'd be different but they're all the same She's got that smile that steals your soul Leaves you empty leaves you cold She's the Boogie Man hiding in plain sight Wearing danger like a dress that fits just right She'll make you think it's love but it's only a scam Better step aside let her go by- She's the Boogie Man Mama tried to tell me but now I understand Sometimes the devil wears heels and tans So when you see her coming boy don't take that chance Step aside let her go by- She's the Boogie Man
