Don't Turn Off the Lights
NKOTBSB Lyrics

Turn out the lights now
Let's create a romantic atmosphere by turning off the lights

Turn out the lights now
Emphasizes the need to turn off the lights for the song's intended purpose

I know we haven't been getting along-long at all
Acknowledge that the couple has been struggling lately

I don't think that it's time
Doesn't want to give up on the relationship yet

You and I to give in just call-call it off
Doesn't want the couple to separate just yet

I don't want to say goodbye
Expresses the desire to keep the relationship going

'Cause just when I think we are through
Just as she thinks the relationship is doomed, happy memories flood back

The memories come flooding back
Nostalgic memories about the good times being in a relationship

It's like instantly I love you like that
Recalls the feelings she once had for the partner

I was on fire for you, we can get it back again
The spark and passion they once had for each other can still be reignited

If you don't say it's the end, the end
Asks the partner to not give up and end things between them

So don't turn out the lights now
Urges the partner to not end their relationship and create a romantic mood

Lights now, light now (don't turn them out)
Repeats the need to keep the lights on for the song's intended purpose

'Cause in a minute we'll be feeling like
In a short amount of time, they'll start to feel the passion again

Never before
They'll feel just as intensely as they felt when they first fell in love

Will I have the night now, night now, right now
She's ready to create a romantic evening, right now

I'll be whatever you need and more
She'll go above and beyond to make the relationship work

I am a give you a minute to clear-clear your head
She'll give the partner some time to think and clear their head

Take the rest of the night, yeah
Encourages the partner to spend the night with her

You gotta see that it's empty without me in bed
Points out that the partner will feel lonely without her

Baby you'll change your mind
Believes that the partner will eventually want to stay with her

Higher, we got to let go and take a chance
Suggests taking a risk to make things work and reach new heights in the relationship

I'll take it higher, yeah to the end
She'll go beyond what's expected to keep the relationship going until the end

Feelin' out the night now, night now, right now
They're ready to explore the passion in the air, right now
