Turn On Your Lovelight Live at the Hollywood Palladium August 6 1971 by The Grateful Dead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Without a warning you broke my heart
Taking it baby, tore it apart
And you left me standing in the dark cryin'
Said your love for me was dyin'
So come on baby, baby please
Come on baby, and I'm on my knees
[Chorus]
Turn on your light, let it shine
Turn on your lovelight, let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
[Verse 2]
Well, I get a little lonely in the middle of the night
I need you darling to make things all right
Come on baby, baby please
I'm begging you baby, and I'm on my knees
[Chorus]
Turn on your light, let it shine on me
Turn on your lovelight, let it shine on me
Let it shine, let it shine, let it...
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Without a warning, you broke my heart
Taken it baby, torn it apart
You left me standing in the dark cryin'
Said your love for me was dyin'
Come on baby, baby please
Begging you baby, and I'm on my knees
[Chorus]
Turn on your light, let it shine on me
Turn on your lovelight, let it shine on me
Let it shine, let it shine, let it...
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I get a little lonely in the middle of the night
I need you, darling, to make things all right
Come on baby (Come on baby)
Baby please (Baby please)
Begging you baby (Begging you baby)
And I'm on my knees (On my knees)
Turn on your light (Turn on your light)
Let it shine on me (Let it shine on me)
Turn on your lovelight (Turn on your lovelight)
Let it shine on me (Let it shine on me)
Let it shine on me (Let it shine on me)
Let it shine on me (Let it shine on me)
Let it shine on me (Let it shine on me)
You got to shine on me (Let it shine on me)
Let it shine (Let it shine on me)
Let it shine (Let it shine on me)
Let it shine on me (Let it shine on me)
Let it shine on me (Let it shine on me)
Let it shine on me
Let it shine
Early in the morning, let it shine
Late in the evening, let it shine...
Just got to have it shine, just got to have it shine
Just got to have it shine, just the site of my heart and soul
[Instrumental Break]
Early in the morning, just before the day is dawning
All I need is some of your love...
All I need, all I need, all I need
Is some of your love
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Early in the morning, just before the day is dawning
Sometimes in my quest to get a little bit, get a little bit more, baby
Hungry for some love, hungry for some love
Hungry for some love, hungry for some love
When I get in it, puts just in a kind of mood
All I do is ask my baby one or two sweet questions
I ask her please, I ask her please
Baby, why don't you do one thing for me, do one thing for me
I want you to roll over, round your lips show love
Turn on over and give me some love
Turn on over and give me some love
Turn over, all I need, all I need is some of your love
All I need, all I need, all I need, all I need is some of your love
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
I wanna tell all you fellas now
I see a whole bunch of fellas in the house this evening
And I know that some of you fellas would like to have a little company
Well, if you ain't got no company, I got a plan for you
You ain't got to mess around and look over your shoulder at some little fox...
And tell yourself, well, it sure would be nice to have a little of that company
Because I'll tell you, man, y'all could run around this whole place looking for a little company this evening, and go back home and put your hands in your pockets, and you ain't supposed to be doing that, fellas
There's a lot of places better than your pockets to put your hands in
So I'll tell you what you do:
Now, anybody out in the house this evening, what y'all do, if there happen to be some foxy little lady standing next to you and you got some ideas on your mind, ain't no reason for beating around the bush
Just look next door and ask that young lady one time, hold it
Anybody in the house that sees a young lady next to him that he would like to get next to, I want him to turn around and say, "How would you like to come home into my bedroom this evening?"
I wanna see all you brothers do it
I know a lot of you folks got a lot of trouble out there; myself, I'm cool...
'Cause when I get lonesome, when I get lonesome and it's time to go
All I gotta do is ask my old lady one thing
And you know she knows just what I mean
I say please, I say please, mama, please, girl
All I need is some of your love
All I need is some of your special love shining on me
Shine it on me, shine it on me
It make me feel so nice sometime
It make me feel so good sometime I just can't stand it once in a while
But I ask her one time, I say, please, darlin', after everything else is over
There's one more favor I'd like to ask of you
Get your line, let it shine on me
Get your line, let it shine on me
Sweetly love, sweetly love, sweetly love, sweetly love
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, some of your love, some of your love
Some of your love, some of your love
[Instrumental Break]
My my, makes me feel so good
Ask my baby one time, ask her please
Ask my baby one time, mama, ask her please
Please turn on your light, let it shine on me
Turn on your light, let it shine on me
Turn on your light, let it shine
Let it shine, a special little thing
I know you got it hid away, 'cause I know it's around someplace
I know you got it hid away, but I've been there before
When I'm in the darkness, I need a little light
In the darkness, need a little light
I know you've got one, I know you've got one
I know you got one, darlin', just waiting for me
Brighten up my day, even brighten up my night
Brighten everything, brighten everything in sight
That sweet little love, all your light
All your light is all I need
Now, please, won't you let it shine, let it shine
Let it shine, shine on me
I need your love (Let it shine)
Let it shine (Let it shine)
Let it shine (Let it shine)
Let it shine (Let it shine), shine on me
Let it shine (Give me your light now)
Let it shine (Give me your light now)
Give me your love (Give me your light now)
Little bit high, little bit high (Little bit high)
Little bit high (Little bit high)
Little bit higher (Little bit high)
Little bit higher (Little bit high), oh
Give me your love (Give me your love now)
You know I need it (Give me your love now)
All I need (Give me your love now)
Oh Lord (Shine on me)
Why don't you give it to me, give it to me (Shine on me)
Give it to me, give it to me (Shine on me)
Give it to me, give it to me (Shine on me, whoa now)
Some of your love, some of your love, I got to have it
Some of your love, some of your love
Give me some love
Got to get it, got to get it, got to get it, got to get it
Got to get it, got to get it, got to get it, got to get it, AH!
(Give me your light now, give me your light now, give me your light now)
Got to get some, some of your love, some of your love, some of your love
I guess I got to, I guess I got to, I got to have it
Can't do without it, baby...
Got to have it, got to have it
I need it, I got to have it...
Thanks, folks
