  • Without a warning you broke my heart
    You took it darlin' and you tore it apart
    You left me sitting in the dark, crying
    You said your love for me was dying

    I'm begging you, baby, baby please
    I'm begging you, baby, baby please
    Turn on the light, let it shine on me
    Turn on your love light, let it shine on me
    And let it shine, shine, shine, let it shine

    And I wanna know
    When I

    I get a little lonely
    In the middle of the night
    I need you darlin'
    To make things alright

    Come on baby, come on please
    Come on baby, baby please
    Turn on the light, let it shine on me
    Turn on your love light, let it shine on me
    A little bit higher, a little bit higher
    Just a little bit higher, a little bit higher
    A little bit higher

    Come on, baby, come on please
    I'm begging you, baby, I'm down on my knees
    Turn on the light, let it shine on me
    Turn on your love light, let it shine on me

    I feel alright, I feel alright
    I feel alright, I feel alright, baby Writer/s: Don Robey, Joseph W. Scott
