(It’s going down, it’s going down)
We go together like fire and dynamite when it blows
Look out, look out below
When we touch the world explodes
(Every time you’re near me I get hella overheated
Tryna live without you but your body heat - I need it)
Oo-wee darling believe that I’ll never let you go
Even if you’re afraid of the dark
Let’s be dangerous surrender your heart
All anybody needs is one light
I’ll be anything that you like
Call me if you need it tonight
When you are afraid of the dark
All anybody needs is one light
I’ll be anything that you like
Call me if you need it tonight
When you are afraid of the dark
Oh oh oh
La da da la da da la da da
Oh oh oh
La da da la da da la da da
I’ll lift you up when you need won’t let no one hold you down (no)
I’ll be the air that you breathe no I’ll never let you drown
(I can keep you warmer when your nights are getting colder
Even when you feel like your entire world is over)
Oh my you get me high
And we’ll never touch the ground
Even if you’re afraid of the dark
Let’s be dangerous surrender your heart
All anybody needs is one light
I’ll be anything that you like
Call me if you need it tonight
When you are afraid of the dark
All anybody needs is one light
I’ll be anything that you like
Call me if you need it tonight
When you are afraid of the dark
Oh oh oh
La da da la da da la da da
Oh oh oh
La da da la da da la da da
I know you’re not scared of love
But of not being loved back
Not afraid of heights
But scared of falling off
Always on the run without ever tryna look back
Sleeping with the lights on but you can turn them off
I’ll be your knight in shining armor
Every night I’ll fight the monsters
When you’re dreaming watching the sky for flying saucers
Hold you close and rock you
Malcolm to the rescue
I’m your superman and batman if they ever try to get you
Baby if you’re afraid of the dark
Let’s be dangerous surrender your heart
All anybody needs is one light
I’ll be anything that you like
Call me if you need it tonight
When you are afraid of the dark
All anybody needs is one light
I’ll be anything that you like
Call me if you need it tonight
When you are afraid of the dark
