Lyrics
You Switched On a Light
I once believed that your love was for real
I once believed that you cared for how I feel
I once believed that you'd always be true
But you opened up my eyes so now I don't believe in you
I once believed that your love was so strong
I once believed that you'd never do me wrong
I once believed that as one we would be
Now I don't believe a word of all the things you promised me
Because you switched on a light
Switched on a light
Because you switched on a light
Switched on a light
Yes you did
You opened my eyes
I once believed that you'd ne'er be untrue
I once believed that you'd never make me blue
I once believed that you'd be just for me
But you opened up my eyes so now I see you're just a cheat
I once believed what we had was the best
I once believed that we couldn't fail the test
I once believed that you'd always come through
Now I don't expect that I could ever last a day with you
Because you switched on a light
Switched on a light
Because you switched on a light
Switched on a light
Yes you did
You opened my eyes
