[Verse 1]
Why do you keep telling your parents to check under your bed?
Don't you know I only wanna be your friend?
Mmm-mmm
So what, I got a bad rap
Don't pretend that nobody's ever talked behind your back
Mmm-mmm

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm under every kid's bed
I've heard every mean thing they've ever said
About you
They talk about me too
Let me be there for you

[Chorus]
Sorry, did I make you scream?
I'm the boogeyman man
I can feel your heartbeat racing
Blood pressure starts rising
You're scared of me, that's not surprising
You always buying these night lights
Ruining the plans that I had for tonight
I just wanna stop by for a while
Give me a chance and I'll make you smile
[Post-Chorus]
Haha, hahaha
Give me a chance and I'll make you smile

[Verse 2]
I know it's kind of scary whenever your body won't move
But that's the only time I can talk to you
Sleep paralysis is the only thing I can do
To get through to you
You're crying in your pillow
I know what you're going through
Wish I could comfort you but there's nothing I can do
Except watch you

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm under every kid's bed
I've heard every mean thing they've ever said
About you
They talk about me too
Let me be there for you

[Chorus]
Sorry, did I make you scream?
I'm the boogeyman man
I can feel your heartbeat racing
Blood pressure starts rising
You're scared of me, that's not surprising
You always buying these night lights
Ruining the plans that I had for tonight
I just wanna stop by for a while
Give me a chance and I'll make you smile
[Post-Chorus]
Give me a chance and I'll make you smile
Give me a chance and I'll make you smile

[Bridge]
It's always
Go away, go away
I don't want you to stay
Go away, go away
I'm rejected every day
It's always
Go away, go away
I don't want you to stay
Go away, go away
I never liked you anyways

[Outro]
I've given up this time
If you want me to be mean, I'll be the meanest thing you've ever seen
The baddest guy there's ever been
After all, that's what you think of me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll be the baddest guy you've ever seen
I'll make you scream
I'll make you run back to mommy
I'll have you running right back to mommy
