Don't turn on the light
If you don't wanna see your poor girl crying
Don't turn on the light
I got a hurt in my heart and I feel like dying
Don't wanna let you look at me
I'm not a pretty sight
So when you come home tonight
Oh my darling don't turn on the light

Another letter came today
From a very good friend of mine
Saying you've been double cheating all the time
I've tried to keep the tears inside
But they really won't be denied
So I wrote you out a message
And here is what I said:

Don't turn on the light
If you don't wanna see your poor girl crying
Don't turn on the light
I got a hurt in my heart and I feel like dying
Don't wanna let you look at me
I'm not a pretty sight
So when you come home tonight
Oh my darling don't turn on the light

Maybe the letter told a lie
But it got me just the same
Cause it gave me time to place this anyway
Deep in my heart I still believe
That your only true love is me
And tomorrow will be better
But tonight I feel so bad

Don't turn on the light
If you don't wanna see your poor girl crying
Don't turn on the light
I got a hurt in my heart and I feel like dying
Don't wanna let you look at me
I'm not a pretty sight
So when you come home tonight
Oh my darling don't turn on the light
