Well, red light, blue heart
I'm just about the saddest thing you've seen
Well, I won't be home tonight
I'm going down to that red light
I won't be back till your light turns to green

Well, how long did I wait
'Fore I took you on a date
'Fore I took you out and showed you a good time
Well, I know I ain't half bad
I'm the best you ever had
Hoping that you ever will be mine

Red light, blue heart
I'm just about the saddest thing you've seen
Well, I won't be home tonight
I'm going down to that red light
I won't be back till your light turns to green

Well, I took you out to dance
But I never got a chance
'Cause you wouldn't let me steal a little kiss
Won't you let me be your man
Won't you let me hold your hand
Won't it ever get much worse than this

Red light, blue heart
I'm just about the saddest thing you've seen
Well, I won't be home tonight
I'm going down to that red light
I won't be back till your light turns to green

Well, I just can't wait no longer
This feeling's getting stronger
I'm howling at the moon and stars above
I'll be holding up my feelings baby
'Fore you life has changed
Standing on the corner of your love

Red light, blue heart
I'm just about the saddest thing you've seen
Oh, you're holding out tonight
I'm going down to that red light
I won't be back till your light turns to green
