When a man loves the woman
And she tries to turn away
Got no heart to follow
Only pain and sorrow
So don't look the other away

Leave the light on in your window
Leave the key above your door
Leave the light on baby,
That's just what I am looking for

I am lost without your loving
Though I try to make a stand
Well, I am finally stranded
Came up empty-handed
Yeah, I am lost in no man's land

Leave the light on in your window
Leave the key above your door
Leave the light on baby,
That's just what I am looking for

Well, I am lost and lonely but I won't let go
Still my body's achin' for someone to hold
In a world so ruthless, keep in my mind
You're my reason for livin', show me a sign

Leave the light on in your window
Leave the key above your door
Leave the light on baby,
That's just what I am looking for

Leave the light on in your window
Leave the key above your door
Leave the light on baby
That's just what I am looking for

Leave the light on in your window
Leave the key above your door
Leave the light on baby
That's just what I am looking for
