[Verse 1]
I'm on the block, down the street at night
Something's down the road (Ooh baby)
Coming to me, I can see it
Nowhere left to go
It's dangerous, I could feel it
Feel it in my bones
Heart is beating, I could sense it
Getting really close
[Pre-Chorus]
It detects my picture, I'm the prey
Gonna chew me out and leave me to decay
Comes to get me, beats me good
I need to move it, gonna need a push
Chills down the spine
I'm thinking twice
You're the one he'll find
And did you know
[Chorus]
If you don't watch out for the boogeyman
Gets the weak and I got caught
I gotta speed my pace, can't lose the race
You're the one he'd chase
If you don't watch out for the boogeyman
You're next up on his plot
Plan your route to escape, don't leave a trace
He'll bite and take the bait
[Verse 2]
I never wanna shut my eyes
I see it with my eyes closed
Sundown's close, wish to postpone
I cannot sleep at night
How can I fight it?
Do I need to find a brand-new disguise?
Hide and seek, it comes to catch me
It got me by surprise
[Pre-Chorus]
It detects my picture, I'm the prey
Gonna chew me out and leave me to decay
Comes to get me, beats me good
I need to move it, gonna need a push
Chills down the spine
I'm thinking twice
You're the one he'll find
And did you know
[Chorus]
If you don't watch out for the boogeyman
Gets the weak and I got caught
I gotta speed my pace, can't lose the race
You're the one he'd chase
If you don't watch out for the boogeyman
You're next up on his plot
Plan your route to escape, don't leave a trace
He'll bite and take the bait
[Bridge]
Daily (Daily)
I find it hard to define how to get by
Can you blame me, cause you
Invade me and all my space
I need time to get by but you deny
I got my throat tied in a knot
And it's hard to just let go
When you're not around, I wonder why I choose to stay down low
Never said that you're allowed, that's why I'm always hiding
In dreams you tell me in my face, "Thank you for inviting me"
[Pre-Chorus]
Chills down the spine
I'm thinking twice
You're the one he'll find
And did you know
[Chorus]
If you don't watch out for the boogeyman
Gets the weak and I got caught
I gotta speed my pace, can't lose the race
You're the one he'd chase
If you don't watch out for the boogeyman
You're next up on his plot
Plan your route to escape, don't leave a trace
He'll bite and take the bait
