Turn The Lights Out When You Leave lyrics by Elton John
Turn The Lights Out When You Leave - Elton JohnIntro
1. Strophe
Your bag's out on the bed,
your closet's all cleared out.
You say you're going to Jacksonville,
'cause our love is all worn out.
You're searching in my eyes
to try and find a tear,
but the well of my forgiveness
has dried up with the years.
You might still look pretty
in that lacey little dress,
but I think you've got
your signals crossed
if you think that I'm a mess.
1. Refrain
I ain't gonna die,
I ain't gonna cry
I won't wear my heart out
on my sleeve.
You can take the car,
but you won't break my heart.
Oh and darling
turn the lights out
when you leave.
I ain't gonna shake,
I ain't gonna break
I ain't gonna fall down
on my knees.
So if everything's been said
I'm heading back to bed,
oh and darling
turn the lights out
when you leave.
2. Strophe
It's like a prime time movie,
you play the part so well.
You do believe you're Heaven sent,
and living here is hell.
I hear it's hot in Florida,
and it's raining here tonight,
but the sun's gonna shine tomorrow,
and I'm gonna do alright.
You might still look pretty
in that lacey little dress,
but I think you've got
your signals crossed
if you think that I'm a mess.
2. Refrain
I ain't gonna die,
I ain't gonna cry
I won't wear my heart out
on my sleeve.
You can take the car,
but you won't break my heart.
Oh and darling
turn the lights out
when you leave.
I ain't gonna shake,
I ain't gonna break
I ain't gonna fall down
on my knees.
So if everything's been said
I'm heading back to bed,
oh and darling
turn the lights out
when you leave.

You might still look pretty

3. Refrain
I ain't gonna die,
I ain't gonna cry
I won't wear my heart out
on my sleeve.
You can take the car,
but you won't break my heart.
And darling
turn the lights out
when you leave.
I ain't gonna shake,
I ain't gonna break
I ain't gonna fall down
on my knees.
So if everything's been said
I'm heading back to bed,
oh and darling
turn the lights out
when you leave.
Coda
So if everything's been said
I'm heading back to bed,
and darling
turn the lights out
when you leave...
