Lyrics
Don’t look now
I can’t believe what’s happening is happening
When everything I'd wanted’s out in front of me
Can’t we see, it was just a red light
Baby just a red light
And it won’t be long
'Til everybody says “now boy, you got it wrong”
Like they knew it somehow better all along
But they were wrong
It was just a red light
Baby, just a red light
So slide to the middle baby it’s okay
Dance just a little, then love the night away
Here’s our chance to get it straight
So slide to the middle baby it’s alright
Dance just a little and love the night to day
Oh hey
We’ll be missing the red lights
Baby all the red lights
We’ll be missing the red lights
Oh hey
But you don’t know how
To love me back the same way, you don’t know how
When you said we had it made, did I get played?
Oh hey
Just to hit another red light
Baby it’s a red light
So slide to the middle baby it’s okay
Dance just a little, then love the night away
Here's our chance to get away
So slide to the middle baby it’s alright
Dance just a little and love the night to day
Oh hey
And we’ll be missing the red lights
Baby all the red lights
We’ll be missing the red lights
Oh hey
Tell me there’s another way around
Tell me there’s another way around
Without throwing it all away
Tell me there’s another way and I’m down
Tell me there's another way I’m down down down
Oh slide to the middle baby it’s okay
Dance just a little, love the night away
Here's our chance to get away
So slide to the middle baby it’s alright
Dance just a little and love the night to day
Oh hey
Oh slide to the middle baby it’s alright
Dance just a little and love the night to day
Oh hey
We’ll be missing the red lights
Baby all the red lights
We’ll be missing the red lights
Oh hey
We'll be missing the red lights
Baby all the red lights
We’ll be missing the red lights
Oh hey
Slide to the middle baby it’s okay
Dance just a little and love the night away
