People think we have it all
They see gold records and pictures on the wall
They see us kiss and holding hands
But we're in public, they don't understand

When the lights go out
And nobody's around
We're sleeping in separate rooms
Where love can't be found

When the lights go out
And love disappears
We're living a lie
I'm thinking that I've gotta get out of here

When the lights go out

I hear the bell, I open the door
We welcome our friends, like so many times before
I take their coats, she fixes them drinks
We laugh and joke like nothing is wrong, because that's what they think

When the last car pulls out of sight
We don't talk, we don't even turn and say goodnight

When the lights go out
And nobody's around
We're sleeping in separate rooms
Where love can't be found

When the lights go out
And love disappears
We're living a lie
I'm thinking that I've gotta get out of here

When the lights go out

I want to go back to the way it used to be
I was head over heels for you, you were crazy in love with me

When the lights go out
And nobody's around
We're sleeping in separate rooms
Where love can't be found

When the lights go out
And love disappears
We're living a lie
I'm thinking that I've gotta get out of here

When the lights go out
