TURN OUT THE LIGHT AND LOVE ME TONIGHT
(Robert Lee McDill)

as recorded by Don Williams
1975


I've been lonesome, I've been empty,
I got an achin' way down inside.
I need someone, someone to hold me,
Pull down the shade, turn out the light
And love me tonight!

Don't think about tomorrow, it don't matter any more,
We can turn the key and lock the world outside the door!
I need you so now, come on let's go now,
Kick off your shoes, turn out the light
And love me tonight!

Now don't you worry, we're all alone now,
Let your hair down, sit by my side.
Turn off the tv, put on some music,
Pull down the shade, turn out the light
And love me tonight! 

Don't think about tomorrow, it don't matter any more,
We can turn the key and lock the world outside the door!
I need you so now, come on let's go now,
Kick off your shoes, turn out the light
And love me tonight!
