The Boogie Man
Born a girl
No twisted curls
This time with thick and brown hair
A quiet young soul
You grew up to be bold
Never could we ever prepare
I'd watch alone
You slow danced to songs
It was amazing you could sleep anywhere
Funny to us
You didn't fuss
You were learning to honestly not care
At first it felt strange
Then my feelings all changed
I learned it the very hard way
The nickname I gave her
From a slow waltz in the sand
Now, she'd become a "Boogie" man
High school was rough
But you proved to be tough
No one steered you away
Your hair got shorter
And your eyes then wandered
That's when we looked under your bed
At first it felt strange
Then my feelings all changed
I learned it the very hard way
The nickname I gave her
From a slow waltz in the sand
Now, she'd become a "Boogie" man
We still hear the whispers from across the room
No one here understands
If words were not hurtful and kept unplanned
No one need fear the boogie man
At first it felt strange then my feelings all changed
I learned it the very hard way
If words are not hurtful and souls not bound
You might find your own boogie man
Yes, I have my own boogie man
No twisted curls
This time with thick and brown hair
A quiet young soul
You grew up to be bold
Never could we ever prepare
I'd watch alone
You slow danced to songs
It was amazing you could sleep anywhere
Funny to us
You didn't fuss
You were learning to honestly not care
At first it felt strange
Then my feelings all changed
I learned it the very hard way
The nickname I gave her
From a slow waltz in the sand
Now, she'd become a "Boogie" man
High school was rough
But you proved to be tough
No one steered you away
Your hair got shorter
And your eyes then wandered
That's when we looked under your bed
At first it felt strange
Then my feelings all changed
I learned it the very hard way
The nickname I gave her
From a slow waltz in the sand
Now, she'd become a "Boogie" man
We still hear the whispers from across the room
No one here understands
If words were not hurtful and kept unplanned
No one need fear the boogie man
At first it felt strange then my feelings all changed
I learned it the very hard way
If words are not hurtful and souls not bound
You might find your own boogie man
Yes, I have my own boogie man
