Afraid of the Dark

I know what you're thinking, it don't take a genius to see You've been wondering if I'm worth the risk and if I come with a guarantee But you've no reason to worry cause I'm the real thing There must be some way to prove it to you, like dropping acid on a golden ring Tell me lover, are you feeling rattled by desire burning deep in your heart It ain't easy waiting in the shadows when you're afraid of the dark My love is like a big belly moon hanging over the sea Innamorata, a big ol' pinyata-- bold and bald about to burst at the seams Tell me lover, are you feeling rattled by desire burning deep in your heart It ain't easy waiting in the shadows when you're afraid of the dark I know you want me to fight for love So grab your corner, Babe, the bell's gone off I know I said I'd die for you But you didn't say you were the firing squad Tell me lover, are you feeling rattled by desire burning deep in your heart It ain't easy waiting in the shadows when you're afraid of the dark
