That rude joke
On that smart-ass TV show
Torments me again tonight
I can’t laugh at all

On a hand-me-down bed
On the veranda
My pet falls asleep
To the lullaby I’m creating

The night is always a cruel friend
It sneaks up on you and covers your eyes
And shows you a dream
That you can’t tell anyone about
Please Please, me

The world invited by
The midnight radio
Raised me to be strong
I’m not afraid of anything

I’m peering through a mask
At a mirror that shows nothing
And even though I’m cold and frozen
By the rain they send pouring down

I know I can make it
And even if I can’t
I’ll survive without realizing it
Just like that
I was walking even though I was half asleep
Please Please, me

The night is always a cruel friend
It sneaks up on you and covers your eyes
And shows you a dream
That you can’t tell anyone about
Please Please, me

We’re always vaguely blended
‘I’m here!’ you said, raising your hand
It was unbelievable
I could see you
Please Please, me
