The Dark I Know Well Lyrics by Lilli Cooper, Lauren Pritchard, Brian Charles Johnson, Jonathan B. Wright, Gideon Glick, Skylar Astin, John Gallagher, Jr., Jonathan Groff

Spring Awakening

2006

[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, wantin' just to hide
Knowin' deep inside
You are comin' to me
You are comin' to me

You say all you want is just a kiss good night
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 nothin' 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"

[MARTHA & ILSE]
Me and my "beauty"

You say all you want is just a kiss good night
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 nothin' yet, gonna teach you right
It's just you and me
Child, you're a beauty"

There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well...
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well...
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well...
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well...
