On my way home, I met an old friend of mine
We walked and we talked and shared a bottle of wine
We started to dance, my intentions were good
How could I know I'd be misunderstood?
I promised to call before the weekend was through
We'd all get together so 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 out the light
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
Ah, it would be easy if you'd lighten up
Do it to please me, enough is enough
All that we've been through, how can you doubt?
The ups and the downs are what loving's about
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 out the light
Don't turn the light out
Ooh, don't turn the light out
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 out the light
