When the Lights Go Out
E. Phillips Lyrics

Started with a bad decision
The relationship began on the wrong foot, with a regrettable choice or action.

Drunken little rendezvous
The initial encounter was fueled by alcohol and impulsiveness.

Now you've captured my attention
You have managed to captivate and hold my interest.

And nobody else will do
No one else can compare or fulfill the same role as you.

Never really showed you want me
I never truly expressed my desire for you.

Never really made a move
I never took any action to pursue our connection.

Til you find me in the corner of a crowded room
Until you discover me hiding away in a busy space.

My eyes on you
I have my full attention focused on you.

Your hands on me
You are physically touching me, establishing a closer connection.

Got me right where you
You have successfully positioned me exactly where you want me.

Right where you want me
I am exactly where you desire me to be.

You played a part
You assumed a role or acted in a certain way.

Dancing in the dark
We engaged in intimate or secretive activities away from prying eyes.

But I know
However, I am aware or have knowledge of the truth.

You only kiss me when the lights go out
Our intimate moments only occur when there is darkness or secrecy.

You only touch me when no one's around
You only make physical contact with me when we are alone.

Pulling me closer just to push me back again
You draw me nearer to you, only to distance yourself once more.

Trying to tell me that it's all inside my head
You attempt to persuade me that my perception of the situation is merely imaginary or illogical.

Creep in when I least expect it
You sneakily enter my life or make your presence known at unexpected moments.

Tryna sweep me off my feet
You are attempting to impress and charm me deeply.

Whisper all of your sweet nothings
You softly utter empty or insincere words of affection.

While we're dancing to the beat
As we move our bodies in rhythm, we engage in this charade.

Music got me feeling something
The music evokes certain emotions within me.

Euphoric to the melody
I experience intense happiness or pleasure due to the harmonious tune.

Now you found me in the corner of a crowded room
You have located me once again in a secluded area amidst a large gathering.

Had me right where you
You had complete control or influence over me.

Touch me, Love Me
Physically and emotionally connect with me.

Just take me there
Lead me to a place of affection and intimacy.

You play your games but
You engage in manipulative tactics or behaviors.

Be Prepared
Be ready for the consequences or outcomes of your actions.

If you dare
If you are brave enough to face the potential consequences.

The night is young
The evening is still early and full of possibilities.

So be prepared
Therefore, be ready for whatever may unfold.

You take the chance
You are willing to take a risk or seize an opportunity.

But this could be
However, there is a possibility or potential for something else.

Our final dance
This could be our last intimate encounter or interaction.

I see right through your lies tonight
I am able to perceive the deception or falsehood in your words or actions this evening.

My body's yours
I have surrendered or given control of my physical self to you.

Don't waste my time
Do not use up my precious moments or opportunities for your own purposes.

You act so cool
You portray yourself as nonchalant or unaffected.

But I know what you're about
However, I am aware of your true intentions or nature.
