[F#]I say good night-night.
[Bm6/D]I tuck him in tight.
[C#7/E#]But things [F#m7]are not right.
[D]What is this?
[C#]An infant kiss
That [F#m7] sends my body [C#]tingling?
[F#]I've never fallen for
[Bm6/D] Alittle boy before.
[C#7/E#]No [F#m7]control.
[D]Just a kid and [C#]just at school.
Back [F#m]home they'd call me dirty.
DHis little hand is [C#]on my heart.
He's [F#m7]got me where it hurts me.
[D]Knock, knock. Who's there [C#]in this baby?
[F#m]You know how to work me.
[D]All my [C#]barriers are [F#m]going.[C#]
It's [E]starting to [D]show. [C#7/G#] [F#m] [C#7/E#]
[E]Let go. Let [D]go. [C#7/G#] [F#m] [C#7/E#]
[E]Let go. Let [D7]go. Let [C#]go.[C#7]
[F#]I cannot sit and let
[Bm6/D]Something happen I'll regret.
[C#7/E#]Ooh, he [F#m7]scares me!
[D]There's a man be[C#]hind those eyes.
I [F#m7]catch him when I'm [C#]bending.
[F#]Ooh, how he frightens me
[Bm6/D]When they whisper privately.
(Poor, stupid girl!)
[C#7/E#]Windy-wailey [F#m7]blows me.
[D]Words of caress [C#]on their lips
That [F#m]speak of adult love.
[D]I want to smack but [C#]I hold back.
I [F#m7]only want to touch.
[D]But I must stay and [C#]find a way
To [F#m]stop before it gets too much!
[D]All my [C#]barriers are [F#m]going.[C#]
It's [E]starting to [D]show. [C#7/G#] [F#m] [C#7/E#]
[E]Let go. Let [D]go. [C#7/G#] [F#m] [C#7/E#]
        (Don't let go)
[E]Let go. Let [D7]go. Let [C#]go.[F#]
