Dead of the night baby 
We're finally alone 
I'll pull up the shades 
If you'll unplug the phone 

Put on some music 
Marvin Gaye's real nice 
Once we get settled 
I'll turn off the lights 

Don't be afraid of the dark 
Don't be afraid of the dark 
I'll be there to hold you 
Don't be afraid of the dark 

It might be scary 
Til your eyes adjust 
Don't fear the shadows 
Me you can trust 

I'm at my best 
In a pitch black room 
Hold on tight baby 
You'll feel the power soon 

Don't be afraid of the dark 
Don't be afraid of the dark 
I'll be there to hold you 
Don't be afraid of the dark 
I'll be there to hold you 
Don't be afraid of the dark 

You might tremble 
You might shake 
Scream out loud 
You may even pray 

I know which moves 
Suit you right 
You'll beg for more 
You'll forget about the night 

Don't be afraid of the dark 
Baby, no, no
I'll be there to hold you 
Don't be afraid of the dark 
I'll be there to hold you 
Don't be afraid of the dark 
Don't be afraid of the dark 
Baby, no, no
I'll be there to hold you 
Don't be afraid of the dark 
I'll be there to hold you 
Don't be afraid of the dark 
Hey, baby, no, no, no
I'll be there to hold you 
Don't be afraid of the dark
