He walks in the shadows, avoiding the light
A creature of habit, alone in the night
Intrigues with a fancy, his thoughts out of sight
Avoiding long glances, no reason for, no cause for a fright, little darlin’.
He’s just a man of the night.

Some say he’s a lurker, or haven’t you heard
They say he’s a genius, your held with a word
The sideways glances, not knowing romance
He sits in the corner not learning, but yearning for the dance, little darlin’.
He’s just a man of the night.

CHORUS
Don’t be afraid
He’s sly little darlin’
He’ll send a demon your way
He’s coming little darlin’
Here comes your man of the night

His mama controlled him, rarely showing her love
She made him pay dearly, rejections built of
A lifetime of sorrow turned bitter and sweet
The man sent to save her she never, she never would meet, little darlin’.
She met a man of the night.

He tries to be normal. He tries to comply.
But growing’s not fair when it’s an eye for an eye.
Emboldened by prospects he cannot deny.
He can’t help but stare as he’s lying for, he’s crying for your love, little darlin’.
He’s just your man of the night.

CHORUS
