Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
When The Lights Go Out
[Chorus:]
What’cha gonna do when the lights go out?
What’cha gonna do when it’s total darkness?
What’cha gonna do when the lights go out?
What’cha gonna do when you’re all alone?

[Verse 1:]
You send me roses
You take me out for dinner and wine
What’s your intention?
I wanna know just what’s on your mind

[Chorus:]
What’cha gonna do when the lights go out?
What’cha gonna do when it’s total darkness?
What’cha gonna do when the lights go out?
What’cha gonna do when you’re all alone?

[Verse 2:]
You’ll make no passes
I like a gentleman who acts shy
If we’re romancin’
A hug and kiss will do me just fine

[Pre-Chorus:]
‘Cause I know you know I want you
And I know you must want me too
So let’s just break the pretense down
If you can reach the switch, turn off the light
[Chorus:]
What’cha gonna do when the lights go out?
What’cha gonna do when it’s total darkness?
What’cha gonna do when the lights go out?
What’cha gonna do when you’re all alone?

[Chorus:]
What’cha gonna do when the lights go out?
What’cha gonna do when it’s total darkness?
What’cha gonna do when the lights go out?
What’cha gonna do when you’re all alone?

[Spoken:]
You know you want me
So what’cha gonna do now?
Lights out!

[Guitar Solo]

Hey hey hey hey hey
Turn off the light

[Chorus:]
What’cha gonna do when the lights go out?
(What’cha gonna do?)
What’cha gonna do when it’s total darkness?
(What’cha gonna do?)
What’cha gonna do when the lights go out?
(What’cha gonna do?)
What’cha gonna do when you’re all alone?
(Hey!)
[Chorus:]
What’cha gonna do when the lights go out?
What’cha gonna do when it’s total darkness?
What’cha gonna do when the lights go out?
What’cha gonna do when you’re all alone?

Turn off the lights!

[Instrumental Break]

Lights out!
Alright

[Pre-Chorus:]
‘Cause I know you know I want you
And I know you must want me too
So let’s just break the pretense down
If you can reach the switch, turn off the light

Lights out!
