[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like I'm fading away
You're looking at me, I've got nothing to say
Don't make me angry with the games that you play
Either light up or leave me alone
[Verse 2]
Walk in my room, you lie on my bed
Open your mouth, shoot someone dead
All of a sudden you're inside my head
Either light up or leave me alone
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Spending my bread like it grew on a tree
You're trying to tell me 'bout the birds and the bees
The skirt that you're wearing is way past your knees
Either light up or leave me alone
[Verse 4]
You're up all night preaching your mind
Come home in the morning with your latest find
I'm gonna have to lay it to you straight on the line
Either light up or leave me alone
[Instrumental Outro]
