(Red light spells danger
Can't hold out much longer
'Cause red light means warning
Can't hold out, I'm burning)

No, no, no, no

(Red light) You took my heart and turned me on
(Spells danger) And now the danger sign is on
(Can't hold out) Never thought the day would come
(Much longer) When I would feel alone without you

('Cause red light) And now I'm like a child again
(Means warning) Calling out his mama's name
(Can't hold out) You got me on a ball and chain
(I'm burning) Doin' things that I don't wanna (Baby, baby)

I can't stop running to you
I feel love coming through you
And, girl, with you beside me
Hold on, heaven guide me

Red light, feel the red light (Spells danger)
Oh, it's a danger warning
Can't hold out, can't hold out (Much longer), no, no, no!

(Red light) Feel the red light (Means warning)
Oh, it's a danger warning
Can't hold out, I can't hold out (I'm burning), no!

Mmmm
Yeah, mmm

(Red light) Red light (Spells danger), spells danger
Can't hold out, I can't hold out (Much longer), no, baby, baby
('Cause red light) Mmm (Means warning), means warning
(Can't hold out) And I can't hold out (I'm burning), no, no, no, no, no!

(Red light) I had my fun, I played around
(Spells danger) Without a love to tie me down
(Can't hold out) I always used to kiss and run
(Much longer) I never wanted love to catch me

('Cause red light) I thought I had a heart of stone
(Means warning) But now I'm in the danger zone
(Can't hold out) I can feel the heat is on
(I'm burning) Soon the flames are gonna catch me (Baby, baby)

I can't stop running to you
I feel love coming through you
And, girl, with you beside me
Hold on, heaven guide me

Red light, feel the red light (Spells danger)
Oh, it's a danger warning
Can't hold out, and I can't hold out (Much longer), no, no, no!

(Red light) Feel the red light (Means warning)
Oh, it's a danger warning
Can't hold out, and I can't hold out (I'm burning), no, no, no!

(Red light) Oh, it's a red light, baby (Spells danger)
Oh, it's a danger warning
(Can't hold out) And I can't hold out (Much longer), no, you got to help me, baby!

(Red light) Oh, oh, feel the red light (Means warning)
Oh, it's a danger warning
(Can't hold out, I'm burning)
