She don't like the way the light falls right off her face but she's got a good body, good body And everywhere she goes everybody knows her name They're singing Lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-la She tells her boy she's going out for the night and he pretends that it's alright cuz what's he gona' say nothing comes easy today She found out the hard way
You look better with the lights out, with the lights out, but you're never gonna' find a way to escape with the lights out, with the lights out!
She's in love with a boy from East LA he wants to be somebody-somebody It's hard to dream when the cities got it's foot on your face he does it for Lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-la and so he hangs in the shadows at night get what you want best be ready to fight but what's she gonna' say nothing comes easy today he found out the hard way
You look better with the sundown and the lights out and the lights out but you're never gonna' find a way to escape with the lights out, with the lights out! It's okay to be who you hate with the lights out with the lights out but you're never gonna' rise above this place with the lights out with the lights out!
So cut the chord and run away Cuz no one said you can't be who you wanna be
You never really had a say-so until you got yourself a pistol and then you shot away your halo and now you're never gonna' go home
You look better with the lights out, with the lights out, but you're never gonna' find a way to escape with the lights out, with the lights out!
