Lyrics

[00:02.73] By God won't you please just cut out the lights
[00:14.92] Suzanne won't you help me to draw the line
[00:20.64] Between floozy women and having cigarettes with wine
[00:27.79] There seems to be no room here for my laughter
[00:33.37] But you never seemed to mind all those nights before
[00:41.12] By God won't you please just cut out the lights
[00:49.82] But whatever you do
[00:55.66] Won't you leave my candle burning
[01:03.58] Working for nickel down at the armory
[01:09.17] Trying to support my dime life style
[01:16.25] The bossman telling me I better get it done
[01:21.74] What a way to treat the boy who's your only son
[01:29.47] By God won't you please just cut out the lights
[01:38.18] But whatever you do
[01:43.89] Won't you leave my candle burning
[01:56.00]
[02:14.55] Count your money out on your own time
[02:20.13] You stole somebody's heart my dear but it sure as hell wasn't mine
[02:27.34] Pick your rags up off my bedroom floor
[02:32.74] I done told you one time you're not welcome here no more
[02:40.45] By God won't you please just cut out the lights
[02:49.50] But whatever you do
[02:55.34] Won't you leave my candle burning
[03:04.83] By God won't you please just cut out the lights
