When The Lights Go Down
Rick Springfield

What you don't know can't hurt you, what you can't see can't get in the way

You turn out the light, things get clearer

I know there'll be a night when you can't find the switch

I'm half awake, I can't come to

My hands start to shake as you're shaking me down


And then you give yourself away with your kiss

Up until now it was something that I missed

I get the picture, but I just can't resist, and you imagine someone else


Chorus:

When the lights go down, when the lights go down

When the lights go down, when the lights go down


What's on your mind isn't in your arms, what's in your hands isn't really mine

I'm not really here, they're not my lips you kissed

I'm just a slave or a catalyst, yeah

Something's out of sync

Don't tell me I'm just a link that gets pulled from the chain



And every time I get you on your own, I still feel as though I'm all alone

It's just as well I'm not made out of stone, as you imagine someone else


chorus


(Solo)


And then you give yourself away with your kiss

Up until now it was something that I missed

I get the picture, but I just can't resist, and you're seeing someone else


When the lights go down (repeats 3x)


chorus


What you don't know can't hurt you (repeats out)
