By God, won't you please just cut out the light? Suzan won't you help me to draw the line Between boozy women and having Cigarettes and wine There seems to be no room here for my laughter But you never seemed to mind all those guys before By God, won't you please just cut out the light? But whatever you do Won't you leave my candle burning? Working for my nickel down at the armory Trying to support my dime lifestyle The bossman telling me I'd better get it done What a way to treat the boy who's your only son By God, won't you please just cut out the light? But whatever you do Won't you leave my candle burning? ♪ Doubt your money out on your own dime You stole somebody's heart my dear But it sure as hell wasn't mine Pick your rags up off my bedroom floor I done told you one time you're not welcome here no more By God, won't you please just cut out the light? But whatever you do Won't you leave my candle burning? By God, won't you please just cut out the light?
