[Intro: Timbaland]
It's kind of dark in here, I can't see you, ha
It's kind of dark in here, haha, freaky, freaky, I can't see you
It's kind of dark in here, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I can't see you, freaky
It's kind of dark in here, freaky, freaky, freaky, aha, I can't see you

[Refrain: Timbaland]
I really, really want you to see me
So baby, don't turn off the lights, girl
I really, really want you to see me
So baby, don't turn off the lights, girl
I really, really want you to see me
So baby, don't turn off the lights, girl
I really, really want you to see me
So baby, don't turn off the lights, girl

[Verse 1: Nelly Furtado]
It's gettin' so lonely inside this bed
To know if I should lick my wounds or say, "Woe is me" instead
There's an aching inside my head
It's telling me you're better off alone

[Pre-Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
But after midnight (Ooh), morning will come
And the day will see if you will get some

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
They say that girl you know she act too tough, tough, tough
Well still I turn off the light, turn off the light
They say that girl you know she act so rough, rough, rough
Well still I turn off the light, turn off the light
And I say follow me, follow me, follow me, down, down, down, down
'Til you see all my dreams (Turn off the lights girl)
Not everything in this magical world is quite what it seems (Turn off the lights girl)

[Verse 2: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
I looked above the other day (Turn off the lights girl)
'Cause I think I'm good and ready for a change (Turn off the lights girl)
I live my life by the moon, by the moon (Turn off the lights girl)
If it's high play it low if it's harvest go slow and if it's full then go

[Pre-Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
But after midnight (Ooh), morning will come
And the day will see if you will get some

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
They say that girl you know she act too tough, tough, tough
Well still I turn off the light, turn off the light
They say that girl you know she act so rough, rough, rough
Well still I turn off the light, turn off the light
And I say follow me, follow me, follow me, down, down, down, down
'Til you see all my dreams (Turn off the lights girl)
Not everything in this magical world is quite what it seems (Turn off the lights girl)

[Bridge: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
I'm searching for things that I just cannot see (Turn off the lights girl)
Why don't you, don't you, don't you come and be with me
I pretend to be cool with me, wanna to believe
That I can do it on my own without my heart on my sleeve
I'm running, I'm running, catch up with me life
Or is it love that I'm looking to find
It's all in me, can't you see, why can't you, why can't you see it's all in me, yeah

[Verse 3: Ms. Jade]
I've been through many things
I've seen a lot of faces
A lot of you bet they peep bagged up by many cases
It ain't my skin it's my will I'm a win
Right a will 'til the end
I don't break fo' the bend
Then again, y'all done begged bored shooters
In the streets like scooters, to my shakers and movers
Exploited for the green
Everything ain't what it seems
A different scene lanes leaving 'em with a VA lean
It ain't no magic we living up in the real world
Real deal represent for my real girls
I know it's lonely at the top and I might fall
As for now, follow the rules and turn them lights off

[Refrain: Timbaland]
I really, really want you to see me
So baby, don't turn off the lights, girl
I really, really want you to see me
So baby, don't turn off the lights, girl
I really, really want you to see me
So baby, don't turn off the lights, girl
I really, really want you to see me
So baby, don't turn off the lights, girl
I really, really want you to see me
So baby, don't turn off the lights, girl
I really, really want you to see me
So baby, don't turn off the lights, girl
I really, really want you to see me
So baby, don't turn off the lights, girl

[Outro: Nelly Furtado]
Turn off the light, turn off the light
Turn off the light, turn off the light
Turn off the light, turn off the light
Turn off the light, turn off the light

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date.
