Some people say I'm only out at night  Maybe those folks might of got it right  And some people say I drive a Cadillac car  Or sell my wares hauntin' hotel bars  I'm the boogie man, the boogie man  I like fine suits, smoke the best cigars  Like talking sex to women, girls in fast cars  I might be under the bed, ready to bite  So, little girl, be careful when you're on your own tonight  I'm your boogie man, your boogie man  And I hope that you don't misunderstand your boogie man  And don't let the sun come up on me, your boogie man  I'm your boogie man, your boogie man
