Well I came down here from Manhattan

To see the lights on the mall

But when I got here early this morning

Well I couldn't see any at all

So I walked a little further

And much to my surprise

There was a hot cool woman in a Chevy

Staring into my eyes

I've just got to see the lights

I've just got to see the lights

I've just got to see the lights

Alright

She said now don't walk any further

Just jump into my car

And we can head on down the highway

But you'd better not go too far

'Cos my daddy he's big business

So we've gotta be back by tonight

But we can still have some fun now

If we head on downtown to see the lights

I've just got to see the lights

I've just got to see the lights

I've just got to see the lights

I've just got to see the lights

I've just got to see the lights

I've just got to see the lights

Well, we ended up in this cafe

'Bout twenty-five minutes to one

See, she took me to this nightclub

And the music went on and on

Well, we were set down to get coffee

When in walked her old man

No matter how we tried to explain it

Well We couldn't make him understand

I've just got to see the lights

I've just got to see the lights

I've just got to see the lights
