Lyrics

All night...
Sitting there at the edge of the bed,
Looks like...
You're in love with the TV set
Tear you little eyes off that old B movie
I really tried, but it doesn't amuse me
Come over here
And tell me what I really want to hear:

Tell me a bedtime story
Tell me you still adore me
Tell me you're not pretending,
And get to the happy ending
Where the boy and girl discover
What really makes them lovers
Believe me, you'll never bore me
If you tell me a bedtime story tonight


Baby please,
No more paperback novelettes
Look at me...
Baby try to read my lips instead
Girl, you won't find love in those little pages
You know for us it seems like ages
Since we made some
So you can start with me at chapter one

And tell me a bedtime story
Tell me you still adore me
Tell me you're not pretending,
And get to the happy ending
Where the boy and girl discover
What really makes them lovers
Believe me, you'll never bore me
If you tell me a bedtime story tonight
