When it rains and it pours And your heart can take no more Just call me then When you're down, I'm around To see stars you can rest upon my chest I told her I would do all I could To be the man she needs I told her I would do all I could To fight the worst in me Monsters in the closet honey Monsters overhead Monsters lying next to me at night before I rest They gonna haunt me They gonna twist me into knots Don't let me haunt you Don't let me haunt you, that I beg, oh Now I'm fighting To be the best I can Honey I'm dyin' And there's trouble up ahead Mother ain't lying When she says some all I am Brother quit cryin' I'll be home in time for bed I told her I would do all I could To be the man she needs I told her I would do all I could To fight the worst in me Monsters in the closet honey Monsters overhead Monsters lying next to me at night before I rest They gonna haunt me They gonna twist me into knots Don't let me haunt you Don't let me haunt you, that I beg, oh Behind locked doors is where we stay Chained and captive, keep the worst away The worst away Behind locked doors is where we stay Chained and captive, keep the worst away The worst away Monsters in the closet honey Monsters overhead Monsters lying next to me at night before I rest They gonna haunt me They gonna twist me into knots Don't let me haunt you Don't let me haunt you, that I beg, oh They gonna haunt me.
