I'm hiding here behind your door, yeah
I'm trying to scare you to your core
I'm the boogie man
I like to lie under your bed
You better stay up late instead
I'm the boogie man
These curtains weren't like this before
I make it hard to just ignore
I'm the boogie man
People say I'm make believe
But I know they just can't perceive
I've got some tricks here up my sleeve
You're scared of the boogie man
Those chills that run up and down your spine
They're just part of my grand design
I'm the boogie man
You might be sure that I'm not real
But you know how I make you feel
I'm the boogie man
I'm going to keep close tabs on you
There's really nothing you can do
I'm the boogie man
People say I'm make believe
But I know they just can't perceive
I've got some tricks here up my sleeve
You're scared of the boogie man
