"When The Lights Go Down" Lyrics

Buy from iTunes: Prince - The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale - When the Lights Go Down

Another Friday night, another tired line
"Baby, U sho' look good — hey, baby, what's your sign?"

How many ask 4 your number before they even know your name?
How many out there tired of playing this silly {ol'} worn out game?
Hey, and when the lights go down
And it's just U 2
It's when U and your lover, yeah
Do what they're s'posed 2 do

That's when U feel the heat — hotter than July
That's when U and your baby, baby, baby, and your baby get it right
That when yo' baby get it right

How can U tell him no
When he loves U so?
Buy U anything, anything U want
His eyes all aglow
He'll know U're good 2 go
Do do do... dinner from a restaurant, yeah
Girl, U'd better know
Reelin' until U do it couple times in a row
It just the same, it's just a game
Go back 2 do whatever, sleep outside yo' door

When the lights go down, yeah
And it's just U 2
That's when U hear the sounds
Of what true lovers do, yeah
And when U feel the heat, y'all — hotter than July

That's when U and your baby, when U and yo' baby get it right
Yeah, hey, and when yo' baby get it right, now
That when yo' baby get it right
That's when yo' baby get it right
That's when yo' baby play with it right
