(Verse 1)

The room is dark, the bass is thick

A sip of something, a real quick fix

I’m in the cut, against the wall

Thinkin' I'm invisible, that's all

Just another shadow in the haze

Playin' out these lonely days

But then the track slows, the beat drops low...

And I shoulda known.

(Pre-Chorus)

A spotlight cuts right through the smoke

A voice says, "Baby, leave your coat..."

My heart is kickin' like a 808

There's no mistakin', no escape...

(Chorus)

Ooooh, you got me in the spotlight, baby

Nowhere to run, ain't no place to hide, lady

You see right through my cool disguise

Reflected in your hazel eyes

Yeah, you got me cornered in the light

Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide tonight!

(Verse 2)

I tried to shuffle, make my retreat

But you moved closer to the beat

A subtle smile, a tilt of your head

Every clever line I had has fled

You see the nervous tap-tap of my shoe

The little tells that I can't subdue

You read my mind like a neon sign

Sayin' you'll be mine.

(Pre-Chorus)

That spotlight’s burning through the smoke

You whisper, "Baby, that's a joke..."

You know this heart ain't made of stone

Now I'm out here on my own!

(Chorus)

Ooooh, you got me in the spotlight, baby

Nowhere to run, ain't no place to hide, lady

You see right through my cool disguise

Reflected in your hazel eyes

Yeah, you got me cornered in the light

Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide tonight!

(Bridge)

(Tempo pulls back, music strips down)

I built these walls up, brick by brick

A steady hand, a clever trick...

But with one look, they fell apart

You saw the scared kid from the start...

No shadows left to cover me...

Just who I am, and who you see...

(Chorus)

You got me in the spotlight, baby! (Nowhere to run!)

Ain't no place to hide, lady! (No, no, no!)

You see right through my cool disguise! (He tried to hide it!)

Reflected in your hazel eyes! (She sees it all!)

Yeah, you got me cornered in the light! (Nowhere!)

Nowhere to hide! (No!) Nowhere to hide tonight!

(Outro)

Alright! Yeah!

You found me out, girl, that's a fact!

Ain't no turnin' back!

Nowhere..

no, no, no...

Nowhere to hide from you, baby...
