Put Out the Light Songtext
von Joe Cocker

Why should I worry when I know you′re loving me?
Why should I care when there's joy everywhere?
Why can′t I see the beauty of the life?

Somebody I trusted (trusted)
Somebody I knew quite well
Somebody I loved

Don't risk, don't put out the light (put out the light)
Turn the day into night (put out the light)
Put out the light (turn the day into night)
Turn the day into night (hey, hey, hey, yeah)

I got this little old melody
I think it′s makin′ it blue on me
Then I hear the symphony
That's what I get and
That′s what's been taking out the best of me

(Hey, hey, hey, yeah)
(Hey, hey, hey, yeah)


Why should I hurry? I do the best I can
Do what I do and I hope you understand
Why can′t I see the beauty of the life?

Somebody I trusted
Somebody I knew quite well
Somebody I loved

You gonna risk, don't put out the light (put out the light)
Turn the day into night (turn the day into night)
Put out the light (put out the light)
Turn the day into night (hey, hey, hey, yeah)

(Please don′t, somebody I trusted)
(Somebody I knew quite well)
(Somebody I loved)
But please don't
They don't risk, don′t put out the light

(Put out the light)
(Hey, hey, hey, yeah)


Put out the light
Don′t put out the light, yeah
Put out the light
Don't put out the light, yeah
Put out the light
Don′t put out the light, yeah
Put out the light
Don't put out the light, yeah

Put out the light
Don′t put out the light, yeah
Put out the light
Don't put out the light, yeah
