Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left me outside your front window And I just let you have your say Your mama’s bars won’t keep me from you And I can’t wait another day

Oh, through the floorboards, I was sneaking through your drywall The dirty creep with the freaked out history Oh, and when I get dreams, everything is possible!

[Chorus] Answer your telephone After the beep, girl, Nancy, I'm coming home Just fall asleep, I’ll do anything Cause baby, I’m the nightmare you need

[Interlude] Oh, Nancy... I’m your boyfriend now...

[Verse 2] Those days still play, in echoes Through the halls of Springwood High My heart in a million pieces When my love went unrecognized

Between you and me? Girl, I would do anything To keep you here, in this dreamscaped fairy tale Ooh, where you can be my queen! Ohh!

[Chorus] Answer your telephone After the beep, girl, Nancy, I'm coming home Just fall asleep, I’ll do anything Cause baby, I’m the nightmare you need

[Bridge] Oh, I’m Elm Street’s lover boy! Hey-yeah! (Oh, whoa, whoa, yeah) Ooh, little Elm Street lover boy! Oh! (Oh, whoa, whoa yeah-oh)

I am your night, I am your night, I am your nightmare I am your night, I am your night, I am your nightmare I am your night, I am your night, I am your nightmare I am your night, I, I, I, ha ha ha ha!

[Chorus] Answer your telephone After the beep, girl Nancy, I'm coming home Just fall asleep, I’ll do anything Cause baby, baby, I’m the nightmare you need!

Answer your telephone (Oh, I'm Elm Street's lover boy!) After the beep, girl, Nancy, I'm coming home (Come on, dream away!) Just fall asleep, I'll do anything, cause Girl, I'm the nightmare you need

Answer your telephone After the beep, girl, Nancy, I'm coming home Don't fall asleep, I'll do anything, cause I'm the nightmare you need

Answer your telephone After the beep, girl, Nancy, I'm coming home Don't fall asleep, I'll do anything, cause I'm the nightmare you need

[Outro] I'm the nightmare you need I'm the nightmare you need I'm the nightmare you need...
