intro

Yeah

verse

I′ve been tryna call
I've been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
I′m goin' through withdrawals
You don't even have to do too much
You can turn me on with just a touch, baby

pre-chorus

I look around and
Sin City′s cold and empty (oh)
No one′s around to judge me (oh)
I can't see clearly when you′re gone

chorus

I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can′t sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, when I′m like this, you're the one I trust
(Hey, hey, hey)

verse

I'm running out of time
′Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
So I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh

pre-chorus

The city′s cold and empty (oh)
No one's around to judge me (oh)
I can′t see clearly when you're gone

chorus

I said, ooh, I′m blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I′m drowning in the night
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust

bridge

I′m just walking by to let you know (by to let you know)
I could never say it on the phone (say it on the phone)
Will never let you go this time (ooh)

chorus

I said, ooh, I′m blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)

outro

I said, ooh, I′m blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
