What you can't see can't hurt you they say But I've been blind too many times before Never see it coming your way Shadows and secrets hide Give me the bright lights of the dance floor To shine inside this broken heart of mine The way you move, I'm forgetting all the ghosts in my mind Just say you're mine and stay by my side Don't say you're leaving Don't turn out the lights I scream, I scream, I scream Don't let the the darkness come and hold me I need someone 'cause I can't be lonely tonight Come on baby, come and take me in your arms I'll never be scared of the dark And when the shadows creep up on me If I shiver keep your body close to mine Come on baby, come and take me in your arms I'll never be scared of the dark I'm the kind who's always falling Into trouble and into paradise I don't love by half, I'm all in, I wanna be yours Just say you're mine and stay by my side Don't say you're leaving Don't turn out the lights I scream, I scream, I scream Don't let the the darkness come and hold me I need someone 'cause I can't be lonely tonight Come on baby, come and take me in your arms I'll never be scared of the dark And when the shadows creep up on me If I shiver keep your body close to mine Come on baby, come and take me in your arms I'll never be scared of the dark Never be scared of the dark Never be scared of the dark Come on baby, come and take me in your arms I'll never be scared of the dark In your arms In your arms In your arms In your arms In your arms In your arms In your arms I'll never be scared of the dark Don't let the the darkness come and hold me I need someone 'cause I can't be lonely tonight Come on baby, come and take me in your arms I'll never be scared of the dark And when the shadows creep up on me If I shiver keep your body close to mine Come on baby, come and take me in your arms I'll never be scared of the dark
