Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?

Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
And at the corner of the room
You've sensed some thing's watching you

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that some thing's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone always there

Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no one's there?

And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone's there

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have constant fear that some thing's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone always there

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind

Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that some thing's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that some thing's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
