When we were young
there were always creatures
lurking under the bed
A thousand year old dragon
lived deep in the lake
and he said don’t be afraid
So you dove in
He seemed so sweet and lovely
he made you laugh
and made you forget
about the rain
Showed you new tricks on guitar
hidden talents that erases
the pain
And don't you know that
there's a wolf stalking
in sheep's clothing
tells me he's the real thing
Think what your life
would be missing
if you didn't have him to sing
To sing about
Three headed monsters
they want your money wanna be
in the picture be your friend
They fill your pool
with alligators are they
all just jokers or are they cruel
They light up when they see you
like there's no where else that
they'd rather be
than by your side
Then they promise you the stars
but they're really just along
for the ride
And don't you know that
there's a wolf stalking
in sheeps clothing
tells me he's the real thing
Think what your life
would be missing
if you didn't have him to sing
To sing about
Is it the sparkle
in their eyes or the knowledge
of the ways of the world
The way they kiss
the way they hold you
has made you blind to the fangs
and the fire
There's a wolf stalking
in sheep's clothing
tells me he's the real thing
Think what your life
would be missing
if you didn't have him to sing
To sing about
