Well we're here, and then we're gone
It's not a matter of right or wrong
Don't you know you can see me any time you like
I don't care if it's day or night
But I got one thing to say
when you go don't turn out the light

Well we're haulin' way down the line
and we're runnin' outta time
and those of you know me think you know me well
and those of you don't, child, you can go to hell
'cause I got one way of doin' it, yeah, that's doin' it well

All of my life I been thinkin just one thing
How can we get together and make the world we love sing?
So much misery when will we learn how to shine?
Come a day when we're smiling'
we can finally drink of the vine

Well we both had such a real good time
makin' plans in our own minds
but you never bothered to let me know
that I was a puppet, just part of the show
and then one day you cut the strings and let me go

Oh little woman, don't ya love me no more?
Here as I stand beggin' at your door
for so long have I waited for such a fine red wine
but the finish was too bitter
i guess i'm goin' back to the vine.

Well we're here, and then we're gone
It's not a matter of right or wrong
Don't you know you can see me any time you like
It doesn't matter if it's day or night
But I got one thing to say
when you go don't turn out the light

don't turn out the light
don't turn out the light
yeah, c'mon leave your light on, light on, light on baby right on
let it shine
let it shine
yeah, don't turn out the light
