Songwriter: Robert Etoll Debbie Gibson

Once upon a time
There was a boy and a girl...

I see you there
Throwing pebbles at my window
It's 12 o'clock
What you doing up?
It's late for me yet
Something draws me closer
But Daddy's home
Just my luck

Wanna hear your voice
Before I close my eyes
But baby, you better think twice...

Before you come around and tell me
Bedtime storiez
Better think twice
Before you come around and tell those
Bedtime stories
Better take Daddy's advice

As much as I like a little danger
I have some rules by which I must abide
So listen up if you want to have a future
Take it from me
You'd better run and hide

See you at school
I'll catch you on the playground
But don't look my way
When the sun goes down

Before you come around and tell me
Bedtime stories
Better think twice
Before you come around and tell those
Bedtime Stories
Better take Daddy's advice

I know we're much too young for love
So baby let's take it slowly
Ya, ya!
Don't you come around telling bedtime stories
Don't come around telling me those bedtime stories

Wanna hear your voice before I close my eyes
But baby, you better think twice
Before you come around and tell me
Bedtime storie
Better think twice
Before you come around and tell those
Bedtime Stories
Better take Daddy's advice
