You look so pretty there, my dear
Just let me look at you, my dear
I’ll make you see that it’s so clear
No one adores you like I do, my dear

The better to see you with, my dear
The better to touch you with, my dear
The better to love you with, my dear
The better to eat you with, my dear

Why are you crying now, my dear?
In your eyes I can see the fear
I promise I won’t hurt you, dear
You’ll see you mustn’t run from me, dear

I could not help myself, my dear
I am a wolf by nature, dear
I wish you were around to hear
Tonight I didn’t mean to eat you, dear (2x)
