Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The lights go down
[Verse 2]
One day
I gotta get outta 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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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 5]
I know
You're waiting so close to me
But how will you ever see
As time rolls away?
Lonely
But tryin' to be so proud
And just as I turn around
The lights go down
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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 8]
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 9]
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
