[VERSE 1]
At night when I ought to be sleepin'
That's when you start creepin'
Into my memory
And tears they keep my eyes from closin'
Kept my heart locked and frozen
Until you melted me
[Chorus]
So say, won't you be my lullaby
Won't you be my man
And say, tell me that I shouldn't cry
Tell me, you will understand
[VERSE 2]
Out in the thick of the hot night
Under these city street lights
I'm unraveling
I long for the dawn to start breakin'
She knows my heart is achin'
And she'll deliver me
[Chorus]
So say, won't you be my lullaby
Won't you be my man
And say, tell me that I shouldn't cry
Tell me, you will understand
