Lily was a little girl Afraid of the big, wide world She grew up within her castle walls Now and then she tried to run And then on the night with the setting sun She went in the woods away So afraid, all alone
They warned her, don’t go there There's creatures who are hiding in the dark Then something came creeping It told her, don’t you worry just
Follow everywhere I go Top of all the mountains or valley low Give you everything you’ve been dreaming of Just let me in, ooh Everything you want in gold I'll be the magic story you've been told And you’ll be safe under my control Just let me in, ooh Just let me in, ooh
She knew she was hypnotized And walking on cold thin ice Then you broke, and she awoke again Then she ran, faster and Start screaming, is there someone out there? Please help me Come get me Behind her, she can hear it say
Follow everywhere I go Top of all the mountains or valley low Give you everything you’ve been dreaming of Just let me in, ooh Everything you want in gold I'll be the magic story you've been told And you’ll be safe under my control Just let me in, ooh Just let me in, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Everything you want in gold I'll be the magic story you've been told And you’ll be safe under my control Just let me in, ooh
Follow everywhere I go Top of all the mountains or valley low Give you everything you’ve been dreaming of Just let me in, ooh Then she ran faster and Start screaming, is there someone out there? Please help me Just let me in, ooh
