don't turn the light out

on my way home i met an

old friend of mine

we walked and we talked an' shared

a bottle of wine

we started to dance and my

intentions were good

how could i know i'd be misunderstood

i promised to call before the weekend

was thru

we'd all get together sho she could

meet you

i was just being friendly

i met her

by chance

you gotta believe me - it's not a romance

don't turn the light out

i'm starting to see

don't turn the light out

you're getting to me

don't turn the light out

we're burning so bright

don't turn the light out.don't turn the light out

you gotta see it from my point

of view

the same situation could

happen to you

i said it was over before she left

town

i can't believe that you're putting me down

don't turn the light out

i'm starting to see

don't turn the light out

you're getting to me

don't turn the light out

we're burning so bright

don't turn the light out.don't turn the light out

it would be easy if you'd lighten up

do it to please me

enough is enough

all that we've been thru

how can you doubt

the ups an' the downs are what loving's about

so don't turn the light out

i'm starting to see

don't turn the light out

you're getting to me

don't turn the light out

we're burning so bright

don't turn the light out.don't turn the light out
