in one man
your looking kinda flat tonight girl
wassup,
check it out
Baby, when the lights go out
(yeah, uh here we go)
I'll show you what it's all about
(Coming at you, girl)
(You're gonna like this, girl)
(Here we go)
I ain't sorry for the way I feel
I know you think I'm being insincere
From the way I'm treating you
I never wanted to be so unkind
The only one thing on my mind
Is just kickin' it wit u girl
Baby it's not the way I feel
You know you must believe me
Baby, it's not part of the deal
Oh no no
Baby, when the lights go out
Every single word could not express
The love and tenderness
I'll show you what it's all about
Babe I swear you will soon come to me
So, baby, come to me
When the lights go out
(Ah, yeah, check it)
(Check it out)
(Second verse, girl)
I know you think it may be just a lie
Ain't no good in putting up a fight
'Cuz my heart is set on you
I see the trust is in your eyes
I ain't fooled by your thin disguise
I can see I'm getting through, babe
Girl, don't deny the way you feel
You know you gotta trust me
(You gotta trust)
Give me a chance to prove I'm real
Oh yeah, yeah
Baby, when the lights go out
Every single word could not express
The love and tenderness
I'll show you what it's all about
Babe I swear you will soon come to me
So, baby, come to me
When the lights go out
Baby, when the lights go out
Every single word could not express
The love and tenderness
I'll show you what it's all about
Babe I swear you will soon come to me
So, baby, come to me
When the lights go out
I flip your hips, flip the switch baby yeah now,
an get you off coz im ready in a flip now
swim for me baby give me all that you got
wanna stop coz you make me feel hot
now what you wanna do and that I feel the same way too,
give you what you want through the days and the nights,
Its about time that we turned out the lights
(Uh)
(Yeah, I like that)
(You know what I mean)
Baby, when the lights go out
Every single word could not express
The love and tenderness
I'll show you what it's all about
Babe I swear you will soon come to me
So, baby, come to me
When the lights go out
Baby, when the lights go out
(When the lights go out)
Every single word could not express
The love and tenderness
I'll show you what it's all about
(I'll show you what it's all about)
Babe I swear you will soon come to me
So, baby, come to me
When the lights go out
