Out the Light Lyrics by Phyllis Dillon

Love Was All I Had

0

[Verse 1]
My little boy was going to sleep
Set his present in, he countin’ the sheep
During the night he just didn’t sleep
So a bedtime story I tried to tell
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll tell you, Goldie Locks
No Mommy
Little Red Riding Hood
No Mommy
Well, what you want then?
[Chorus]
Mommy, out the light and tell me what you told my daddy last night
(I beg you, please)
Mommy, out the light and tell me what you told my daddy last night
[Verse 2]
“I love you so much,” that’s what mommy said
But my angel still would not say good night
Can mommy fix you something to drink?
Mommy’s growing boy is thirsty I think
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll give you some water?
No Mommy
I’ll squeeze you an orange
Uh-uh!
Well, what you want then?
[Chorus]
Mommy, out the light and squeeze me like you squeeze my daddy last night
(I bеg you, please)
Mommy, out the light and squeezе me like you squeeze my daddy last night
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
So through my heart, I held him so tight
But my honey lamb did not say goodnight
So then I whispered “You be a good boy”
I’ll give you a penny or maybe a toy
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll give some candy
No Mommy
Maybe a penny
Uh-uh!
Well, what you want then?
[Chorus]
Mommy, out the light and give me what you gave my daddy last night
(I beg you, please)
Mommy, out the light and give me what you gave my daddy last night
[Outro]
Mommy, out the light and give me what you gave my daddy last night
(I beg you, please)
Mommy, out the light and give me what you gave my daddy last night
Mommy, out the light and give me what you gave my daddy last night
(I beg you, please)
Mommy, out the light and give me what you gave my daddy last night
