Without a warnin' you broke my heart you took it darlin' and you tore it apart
You left me standin' in the dark cryin' you said your love for me was dyin'
I'm begging you baby baby please I'm begging you baby baby please
Turn on your lights let it shine on me turn on your love light let it shine on me
Let it shine shine let it shine

I get lonely in the middle of the night
And I need you darlin' to make things alright
Come on baby come on please come on baby baby please
Turn on your lights let it shine on me turn on your love light let it shine on me
A little bit higher little bit higher just a little bit higher a little bit higher

Come on baby baby please turn on your lights and let it shine on Jerry Lee wooo
Come on baby I'm feeling alright turn on your lights mama and I'm feeling alright
I'm feeling alright I'm feeling alright I'm feeling alright I'm feeling alright
I'm glad I've got you back baby
Oh I'm feeling alright in the middle of the night
Well I'm glad baby one I'm packed baby two I'm packed baby two I'm packed baby
I'm packed baby woooo I'm stand up I'm feeling alright

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
