Don't turn out the lights tonight
I need a can of Raid
Ants will crawl inside my ears
And nibble on my brain
There's something by the window
And it wants to get inside
And it's waiting for the dark
So it can eat me up alive

You never listen when I call
I end up sleeping in the hall
'Cause you're too busy with important things
And you smile and say that you believe
But you're not listening to me
They're coming out to get me

Why don't you believe me?
It's not all inside my head
Something wants to eat me
It lives underneath my bed
Well I gotta keep these lights on
Or I'll never get to sleep
There's something in this bedroom
And it's giving me the creeps

I try to tell you that I'm scared
You act like you don't even care
You just pat me on the head and walk away
You're gabbing downstairs on the phone
You leave me in the dark alone
And I'm gonna stay up all night long
Don't turn out the lights, don't turn out the lights
Don't turn out the lights, don't turn out the lights
Don't turn out the lights, don't turn out the lights
Don't turn out the lights

You say you care, you say you care
You say you care, you say you care
You say you care, you say you care
You say you care

You say you care, you say you care
You say you care, you say you care
You say you care, you say you care

No, but you don't care
No, but you don't care
