Bedtime Story

(álbum: Man With A Vision - 1992)

She turns you on, from across the floor
You're tracing every move she makes, on her way out the door
You'd sell your soul just to know her name
The feeling that she gives you, is something you just can't explain

You're telling me you fantasize, about her lacy underwear
No I don't have to fantasize, I ought ta know 'cause I was there

She's my favourite bedtime story, she's my once-upon-a-time girl
I used to know her all by heart, every curve an' every line
She's my favourite bedtime story, she's a fairytale I can't forget
I still wake up in a cold sweat, she's the girl I can't forget

She smiles at you, then she looks away
You're chasing off in hot pursuit, it's a game that she plays
That living doll is no amateur
Each move was calculated to make you fall in love with her

But all too soon I realized, her happy endin's aren't for long
That morning when I rubbed my eyes, my piece of paradise well she was gone

She's my favourite bedtime story, she's my once-upon-a-time girl
I used to know her all by heart, every curve an' every line
She's my favourite bedtime story, she's a fairytale I can't forget
I still wake up in a cold sweat, she's the girl I can't forget
I can't forget

You're gonna find out for yourself, everything I said was true
You'll be telling, you'll be telling me
The same old story I've been telling you

You're telling me you fantasize, about her lacy underwear
No I don't have to fantasize, I ought ta know 'cause I was there
