[Intro]
(The lights go down!)
[Verse 1]
One day, I gotta get out of here
I gotta make everything clear
I gotta see you, oh, oh
I know the way that I feel
Is wrong, so wrong
But I gotta carry on
When you ain't around
[Pre-Chorus]
I believe things are going wrong
And the night goes on and on
All your dreams have flown away
And the sun won't shine today
[Chorus]
The lights go down
(Still want you, baby)
The lights go down
(Still need you, baby)
The lights go down
And there's no one around
[Verse 2]
I know you're waiting so close to me
But how will you ever see
As time rolls away? Whoa, whoa
Lonely, but trying to be so proud
And just as I turn around
The lights go down
[Pre-Chorus]
I believe things are going wrong
And the night goes on and on
All your dreams have flown away
And the sun won't shine today
[Chorus]
The lights go down
(Still want you, baby)
The lights go down
(Still need you, baby)
The lights go down
And there's no one around
[Chorus]
The lights go down
(Still want you, baby)
The lights go down
(Still need you, baby)
The lights go down
And there's no one around
[Outro]
The lights go down
(Still want you, baby)
The lights go down
(Still need you, baby)
The lights go down
(Still want you, baby)
The lights go down...
