The Lights Go Down

---

     	(The lights go down...)

     	One day 
     	I gotta get out of 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.

     		CHORUS: 
     		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. 
     		The lights go down (I want you, baby) 
     		The lights go down (I need you, baby) 
     		The lights go down 
     		And there's no one around.

     	I know 
     	You're waiting so close to me 
     	But how will you ever see 
     	As time rolls away?

     	Lonely 
     	But trying to be so proud 
     	And just as I turn around 
     	The lights go down.

     		REPEAT CHORUS:

     	The lights go down (I want you, baby) 
     	The lights go down (I need you, baby) 
     	The lights go down 
     	And there's no one around...
