The Dark I Know Well [Lilli Cooper/L. Pritchard]

[Martha:]

There is 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, wanting to hide

Knowing deep inside

You are coming to me

You are coming 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 - the lovin' - ain't it good tonight?

You ain't seen nothing yet - gonna treat you right.

It's just you and me

Child you're a beauty."



[Ilse:]

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"



[Both:]

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 - the lovin' - ain't it good tonight?

You ain't seen nothing yet - gonna treat you right.

It's just you and me

Child you're a beauty."



There is a part I can't tell

About the dark I know well

There is a part I can't tell

About the dark I know well
