[Verse 1]
When tomorrow comes, I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of the things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
And in the dark I found, lost hope that I won't fly
And I sing along, I sing along, then I sing along

[Chorus]
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight
You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can’t lie, it’s a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight
You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight
You're my flashlight, you're my flashlight, oh

[Verse 2]
I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top
I'm not afraid when the rain won't stop
'Cause you light the way
You light the way, you light the way

[Chorus]
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight
You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can’t lie, it’s a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight
You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night

[Bridge]
Light, light, light, you're my flashlight
Light, light, you're my flashlight, light, light, light, light, oh
You're my flashlight, oh-ohh

[Chorus]
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see the sweet life (You and I)
I'm stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight
You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes (Shine it in my eyes)
Can’t lie, it’s a sweet life (Sweet life)
I'm stuck in the dark but, you're my flashlight (You're my flashlight)
You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night

[Outro]
'Cause you're my flashlight
You're my flashlight, you're my flashlight
Oh-ohh oh-ohhh ohhhh ohh
You're my flashlight, light, light
You're my flashlight, light, light, yeah
(Light, light, light, you're my flashlight, light, light)
You're my flashlight

Jessie J is a British singer. Born in 1988, she first came to fame when her single, “Do It Like A Dude” hit #2 in the UK. Singles “LaserLight”, “Nobody’s Perfect”, “Who You Are”, “Domino”, and “Price Tag” all hit the Top 10 in the UK, making her the first British female artist to achieve 6 Top 10 singles in the UK. The latter two became Top 25 hits in the US, with “Domino” peaking at #6 and “Price Tag” hitting #23.

Jessie J’s second album, Alive, became a UK-only release. The three singles, “Wild”, “It’s My Party”, and “Thunder” all hit the Top 20 in the UK, with the first two making Top 5. On the album charts, it hit #3 and went gold.

Her third album, Sweet Talker, was released internationally and preceded by the smash single “Bang Bang” featuring Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj. In the UK, it went straight to the top of the charts, while in the US, it debuted at #6, tying her highest peak. Eventually, it hit #3, becoming Jessie’s highest peak, Grande’s second-highest, and Minaj’s tied-for-highest. (Minaj later surpassed her peak with her number two single, “Anaconda”.) “Bang Bang” also hit the Top 10 in Australia, Canada, Denmark, and New Zealand and went Platinum X6 according to RIIA. The next single, “Burnin' Up” was less successful, although it cracked the Top 100 in both the US and UK. Third single “Sweet Talker” was released in only the UK/Ireland, and fourth single “Masterpiece” hit the US Hot 100, but only managed a 159 peak in the UK.
