Red Light

Billy Ocean · Other Songs - Billy Ocean

Red light spells danger

Can't hold out much longer

'Cos red light means warning

Can't hold out I'm burning



oh

oh

oh



You took my heart and turned me on

And now the danger sign is on



Never thought the day would come

When I would feel alone without you

An' now I'm like a child again

Calling out his mama's name

You got me on a ball and chain

Doin' things that I don't wanta.



I can't stop running to you

Feel love coming through you

Girl with you beside me

Hold on, heaven guide me.



Red light spells danger

Can't hold out much longer

'Cos red light means warning

Can't hold out I'm burning.



Red light spells danger

Can't hold out much longer

'Cos red light means warning

Can't hold out I'm burning



I had my funk

I played around

Without a love to tie me down



I always used to kiss and run

I never wanted love to catch me.

I thought I had a heart of stone

But now I'm in the danger zone



I can feel the heat is on

Soon the flames are gonna catch me.



I can't stop running to you

Feel love coming through you

Girl with you beside me

Hold on, heaven guide me.



Red light spells danger

Can't hold out much longer

'Cos red light means warning

Can't hold out I'm burning



Red light spells danger

Can't hold out much longer

'Cos red light means warning

Can't hold out . . .
