[Verse 1: Kim Petras]
Midnight under moonlight
Chills down your spine, fear in your eyes
Feelin' malicious, heard you like it vicious
All your dirty wishes, we were made to do it
[Pre-Chorus: Kim Petras]
Come on, are you curious enough to taste it?
To taste it
[Chorus: Kim Petras]
If you're looking for a fright and you wanna do it right
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light
If you wanna take a bite, wanna see the dark side
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light
[Verse 2: Kim Petras]
Hot stuff, know you like it rough
When I put it on ya, you'll never get enough
Feelin' the pressure, pain turns into pleasure
Ooh, I'm gonna get ya, ooh, I'm gonna get ya
[Pre-Chorus: Kim Petras]
Come on, are you curious enough to taste it?
To taste it
[Chorus: Kim Petras]
If you're looking for a fright and you wanna do it right
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light
If you wanna take a bite, wanna see the dark side
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light
[Post-Chorus: Kim Petras]
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
[Interlude: Elvira, Mistress of the Dark]
Only in the darkness will you find your true self
Howl at the moon to awaken the spell
One cannot judge what the eye cannot see
Outside the realm of humanity
Embrace your fear, don't dare to run
Only then will you be what you're meant to become
[Chorus: Kim Petras]
If you're looking for a fright and you wanna do it right
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light
If you wanna take a bite, wanna see the dark side
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light
If you're looking for a fright and you wanna do it right
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light (Turn off the light)
If you wanna take a bite, wanna see the dark side
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light
[Post-Chorus: Kim Petras]
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
