  • Even though you don't know
    Even though you don't know
    Even though you don't know my name
    Me and you bleed exactly the same
    I smile and come across all tame
    A hundred volts take your life ain't no game
    I switch them lights off
    Hey DJ turn them lights off

    She got my lights switched on
    My lights switched on
    She lookin' my eyes like I like this tone
    I wanna know what side she's from
    I seen many girls but I like this one
    Told me she was a west side lady
    Had a few friends but they were all shady
    Now she on the solo team
    So nobody can send her crazy
    Too many friends and not enough true friends
    Made her wanna go and move to new ends
    I care though, 'cause even if my life gets lonely
    It's all good, to keep few friends

    We connected I asked her out and then she accept it
    I think she gets it
    When the end of the nights comes
    Me and her leave for the exit

    Even though you don't know my name
    Me and you bleed exactly the same
    I smile and come across all tame
    A hundred volts take your life ain't no game
    I switch them lights off
    Oh DJ turn them lights off

    Everywhere we go we about to have fun
    You take care of me we get the job done
    She keeps my mind calm, getting alot done
    I know it's on me but I feel so alone
    On first site, I wanted to be acquainted
    People gonna see us out think that we are dating
    And we don't know where we even wanna take it
    But we got it good on I don't wanna break it

    We connected I asked her out and then she accept it
    I think she gets it
    When the end of the nights comes
    Me and her leave for the exit

    Even though you don't know my name
    Me and you bleed exactly the same
    I smile and come across all tame
    A hundred volts take your life ain't no game
    I switch them lights off
    Oh DJ turn them lights off

    Turn the lights on, Beyonce
    When you not cried ever I must say
    I like the dimples on her face
    Young black and a tat on her rip cage
    That sexy dress the only part that's revealing yes
    That's why I'm respecting her
    Rejecting them and selecting her strength

    Anywhere we go we bond to have fun
    You take care of me we get the job done

    I switch them lights off
    Oh DJ turn them lights off

    When the end of the nights comes
    Me and her leave for the exit Writer/s: COUROS SHEIBANI, KWASI ESONO DANQUAH, RAS KASSA ALEXANDER, RICHARD KYLEA COWIE, SIRACH TENDAI CHARLES
