Spotlight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Are you a man who loves and cherishes and cares for me?
(Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?)
Are you a guard in a prison maximum security?
(Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?)
Do we stay home all the time
Cuz you want me to yourself?
(Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?)
Or am I locked away
Out of fear that I'd find someone else
(Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?)
Well, I don't like
Living under your spotlight
Just because you think I might
Find somebody worthy
No, I don't like
Living under your spotlight
Baby, if you treat me right
You won't have to worry
Is this a relationship fulfilling your needs
as well as mine
(Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?)
Or is this just my sentence
Am I doing time?
(Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?)
Ohh, If this is love, real, real love
Then I'm staying no doubt, Mmmm
But if I'm just loves prisoner
Then I'm busting out
(Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?)
Oh, baby I don't like
Living under your spotlight (spotlight)
Just because you think I might (just because you think i might)
Find somebody worthy (find somebody worthy)
No, I don't like (i don't like)
Living under your spotlight (Ohh, Living under your, under your)
Baby, if you treat me right (Treat me right, Ehhh)
You won't have to worry (Have to worry, No oohh, no oh)
Oh, you oughta be ashamed of yourself
What the hell do you think you're doing?
Loving me, loving me so wrong
Baby, all I do is try (Try)
To show you that you're mine (Mine)
One and only guy (Only guy)
No matter who may come along
Open your eyes
Cuz, I don't lie
Ohh oh, Ohh oh, Woh, Ohh oh, Ohh oh, Oh me, Ohh oh, Ohh oh
Hey, Cause I don't like
Living under your spotlight (Living under your spotli ight)
Just because you think I might (Think i might), Noo
Find somebody worthy (Find somebody better)
No, I don't like (No no, No no)
Living under your spotlight (Living under your spotlight)
Maibe, if you treat me right (Treat me right, treat me right)
You won't have to worry
No, Ohh, No Ohh
Cause, I don't like
Living under your spotlight, Yeah
