MARTHA
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, wanting just to hide
Knowing deep inside
You are coming to me
You are coming to me
You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight
And 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 nothing yet – gonna teach you right.
It's just you and me
Child you're a beauty."
ILSE
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"
BOTH
You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight
And 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 nothing 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
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
