Shut the Door

Come in Come back It is cold outside We wouldn’t want You to catch a chill Now would I There is no reason To venture outside I have everything You could ever want Or ever desire Shut the door behind you It is dark out there It is scary and unknown You must beware Don’t you know I am just trying To keep you safe Like a good mother would It is dangerous out there Dark and twisted So don’t even think For a moment That is where you belong You belong here Safe inside Where the light always shines Don’t walk away Never leave me behind Don’t you understand You need me You are mine If you wont shut the door Then I sure will It will never open again I may sound mean but I swear My fragile love It is for the best The outside world Isn’t for people like you So shut the door And leave your Silly imagination behind I have all you could ever want But the freedom of the wind And a world unknown
