Turn Out The Lights
Don & Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I need someone someone to hold me
Pull down the shade turn out the light and love me tonight
Don't think about tomorrow it don't matter anymore
We can turn the key and lock the world outside the door
I need you so now come on let go now
Kick off your shoes turn out the light and love me tonight
Turn off the TV put on some music
Pull down the shade turn out the light and love me tonight
Don't think about tomorrow
The lyrics to Don & Lee's song "Turn Out The Lights" depict a feeling of loneliness and emptiness that the singer has been experiencing. They express a deep longing for someone to hold and comfort them, hoping that by pulling down the shades and turning off the lights, they can find solace and love for the night. The line "Don't think about tomorrow, it don't matter anymore" suggests a desire to escape from the worries and uncertainties of the future, emphasizing the importance of living in the present moment.
The lyrics also convey a sense of intimacy and seclusion, as the singer urges their partner to let go of any worries or distractions. The reference to turning off the TV and putting on some music implies a desire for a more personal connection, where they can be fully present with each other, free from the outside world's distractions.
Overall, the lyrics of "Turn Out The Lights" convey a longing for emotional connection, a yearning for a moment of respite from the burdens of life, and a plea for genuine love and intimacy.

Thanks for posting this rarity, Charles, one of the last singles to be released on Royal Roost! I like it a lot! I am guessing that one of the composers (and performers?) is Donald Raysor (previously of the Valentines and the Velvets, among other groups). As for Lee, Raymond "Pop" Briggs (who was in the Valentines with Raysor) had a sister named Lil (Lee?). On the other hand, Discogs.com claims that the duo on this record were Dean and Jean who recorded "Turn It Off" on Ember in 1959 (as well as another single on that label in 1958), but if so, that would be the same Dean and Jean who scored it big with a couple of singles on Rust Records in the 1960's (my favorite being "Hey Jean, Hey Dean"), an Ohio-based R&B duo, namely, Welton Young and Brenda Lee Jones. It makes sense that the Dean and Jean on Ember were the same duo as the pair on Rust, because "Turn It Off" was credited as being composed by Lee and Young, but I can't find the thread connecting them with Don and Lee, other than discogs claiming that they were one and the same. Maybe someone else can enlighten us further on this matter! Best regards, Paul

If I wrote it the title might have been Shoot out the Lights. Oh well. Thought it was the aJerry Byrne smash copy but it is lovely. A nice cuddler if ever there was one. Takes me back.
