Once upon a time, there was a boy and a girl      I see you there throwin' pebbles at my window   It's 12 o'clock, what you doin' up?   It's late for me yet, something draws me closer      But daddy's home, just my luck   Wanna hear your voice before I close my eyes   But baby, you better think twice      Before you come around and tell me   Bedtime stories, better think twice   Before you come around and tell those bedtime stories   Better take daddy's advice      As much as I like a little danger   I have some rules by which I must abide   So, listen up if you want to have a future   Take it from me, you'd better run and hide      See you at school   I'll catch you on the playground   But don't look my way when the sun goes down      Before you come around and tell me   Bedtime stories, better think twice   Before you come around and tell those bedtime stories   Better take daddy's advice      I know we're much to young for love   So, baby let's take it slowly, ya, ya      Don't you come around telling bedtime stories   Don't come around telling me those bedtime stories      Wanna hear your voice before I close my eyes   But baby, you better think twice      Before you come around and tell me   Bedtime stories, better think twice   Before you come around and tell those bedtime stories   Better take daddy's advice
