Lyrics

Strobe Light

[Intro: Fred Schneider]

Where's my telephone?

[Verse 1: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson]

Is that you baby?

Yeah...

Got something to tell ya

Oh, what?

I wanna see ya tonight

I want you to walk in the door

I want you to lay on the floor

'Cause tonight's the night

[Pre-Chorus: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson]

We make love under a strobe light

(Strobe light, strobe light)

Underneath the strobe light

[Chorus: Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson]

Wanna make love to you under the strobe light

Wanna make love to you under the strobe light

Strobe light, whoa

Strobe light, whoa

Yeah!

[Verse 2: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson]

Pulsin' light goes to my head

Everything I see is red

Baby, when I kiss your hair

I feel electricity in the air

I'm gonna kiss your eyes [gasp]

Then I'm gonna kiss your neck [moan]

Then I'm gonna kiss your tummy (Ooh!)

Then I'm gonna kiss your pineapple! [shriek]

Tonight's the night

For love under the light

[Pre-Chorus: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson]

Strobe light, strobe light

Underneath the strobe light

[Chorus: Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson]

Wanna make love to you under the strobe light

Wanna make love to you under the strobe light

Strobe light, whoa

Strobe light, whoa

Yeah!

[Outro: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson, Kate Pierson]

I just wanna make love to you

I just wanna make love to you

Underneath the strobe light

(Strobe light) Strobe light

(Strobe light) Strobe light

(Strobe light)

Strobe, strobe, strobe, strobe

Strobe light
