When it is night and there is darkness in your room
You hear a sound with sharpened ears
Then it is me 'cause I return from time to time
And I have heard your silent tearsYou lock your bedroom door and close the window
Indeed you know that there is no way to hide
I get in from the door on the backsideBaby, I'm your nightmare
But I know that you will like the creeps
'Cause nothing thrills like scary deeds
I know that you will like the creeps
You know you'll like the creepsWe learned to know each other many years ago
And in those days I was your man
We never could have been a couple, you and me
But still I do the best I canTo make your sheets alive and fill the space up
That all the others still were leaving behind
To make that sweat is running down your spineBaby, I'm your nightmareWe make your sheets alive and fill the space up
That all the others still were leaving behind
To make that sweat is running down your spineBaby, I'm your nightmareYou know you can't get over me
'Cause I can set desire free
When moonlight's shining through the trees
I'm coming from your fantasies
You need that dirty mad dog, me
You cannot live without, you see
And when it's dream time I'll return
To feed the flame in you, it burns for me,
'Cause I'm your nightmareBaby I'm your nightmare
