love me with the light on

babe

i know you're alone

dancing on your bed

you know your old man is flying

from la to long island

so dance for me instead

and though you're dancing in the darkness

i know you dig it 'cause i'm watching

even though you only touch me with the drapes drawn

even though you never kiss me with your guard down

even though you never love me with the light on me

the neighbors would not understand

the neighbors could not understand

babe

i know you're on fire

you're burning with desire

you know my old heart is aching

this old ladder's shaking

i can't wait to come up for love

too bad your man

he doesn't kiss you

and when you leave

he's gonna miss you

even though you only touch me with the drapes drawn

even though you never kiss me with your guard down

even though you never love me with the light on me

the children would not understand

darling

i miss you badly

you know i love you madly

there's got to be a better way

rip off the shades and curtains

show the world that we're certain

it's time we greet the light of day
