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
