The Dark I Know Well - Original Broadway Cast Recording/2006

There's 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,

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-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,

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-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"

There's a part I can't tell

About the dark I know well.

There's a part I can't tell

About the dark I know well.

There's a part I can't tell

About the dark I know well.

There's a part I can't tell

About the dark I know well.

There's a part I can't tell

About the dark I know well.
