MARTHA There is a part I can’t tell About the dark I know well
You say, “Time for bed now child,” Mom just smiles that smile Just like she never saw me Just like she never saw me
So, I leave, wanting to hide Knowing deep inside You are coming to me You are coming to me
You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight And then you hold me and you whisper, “Child, the Lord won’t mind. It’s just you and me. Child, you’re a beauty.
“God, it’s good – the lovin’ – ain’t it good tonight? You ain’t seen nothing yet – gonna treat you right. It’s just you and me Child you’re a beauty.”
ILSE I don’t scream, though I know it’s wrong I just play along I lie there and breathe Lie there and breathe
I wanna be strong I want the world to find out That you’re dreamin’ on me Me and my “beauty” Me and my “beauty”
BOTH You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight And then you hold me and you whisper, “Child, the Lord won’t mind. It’s just you and me. Child, you’re a beauty.
“God, it’s good – the lovin’ – ain’t it good tonight? You ain’t seen nothing yet – gonna treat you right. It’s just you and me Child you’re a beauty.”
