She has always turned the lights on for me   But she turns them on for so many others too   Yes my arms who's her each night at sundown   Cause my baby turns the lights on uptown   I keep fighting for a love that I can't win   Cause she'd rather have her nightlife and her friends   By the time I get home she's not around cause my baby turns the lights on uptown   I don't know why I love her but I do   Cause now the lights she turns on for me are blue   I wonder what my baby has found when she goes to turn the lights on uptown   [ el.banjo ]   Now the parties never start unti she's there   I know I'm a fool but I don't care   She doesn't care how it looks or how it sounds   Cause she's got to turn the lights on uptown   I don't know why I love her...
