Sometimes I really think I'm going crazy in the night When I hide down in the covers And I won't turn on the light I think nothing's gonna get me But then again it might What can I do to keep from going Crazy in the night I need a drink of water But I swallow hard instead Cause it's hard to move a muscle When you're frozen in your bed If I could make it to the phone Before I die of fright What can I do to keep from going Crazy in the night Sometimes she really thinks She's going crazy in the night When she hides down in the covers And she won't turn on the light She says nothing's gonna get to her But then again it might What can she do to keep from going Crazy in the night There's a monster on my ceiling There's a monster on the wall There are thousands in the closet Now they're coming down the hall I'm so hidden they can't find me But then again they might What can I do to keep from going Crazy in the night Sometimes she really thinks She's going crazy in the night When she hides down in the covers And she won't turn on the light She says nothing's gonna get to her But then again it might What can she do to keep from going Crazy in the night And if I disappeared Do you think they'd ever look Would I be headlines in the paper Or the cover of the book Got to pull myself together I don't want to die of fright What can I do to keep from going Crazy in the night Sometimes she really thinks She's going crazy in the night When she hides down in the covers And she won't turn on the light She says nothing's gonna get to her But then again it might What can she do to keep from going Crazy in the night
