Greenlight Lyrics

[Verse 1: Calum, Michael]
It started with a picture
Those messages you sent to me
You're like the perfect mixture
Of Megan Fox and Katy P

It's such a sick obsession
And now you've got the best of me
I've got the worst intentions
So call me over and set me free


[Pre-Chorus: Michael]
I can give you what you want

[Chorus: All]
It's taking me over
I don't wanna play this game no more
All you gotta do is tell me right now
You want me right now, come on
Give me the green light
We could have all night
If you just say the words
Tell me it's alright
Give me the green light


[Verse 2: Luke]
You've got me where you want me
I'm hangin' on your every word
It's such a twisted story
How you got me, now you got me
[Pre-Chorus: Luke, Luke & Michael]
So let me give you what you need

[Chorus: All]
It's taking me over
I don't wanna play this game no more
All you gotta do is tell me right now
You want me right now, come on
Give me the green light
We could have all night
If you just say the words
Tell me it's alright
Give me the green light


[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus: Calum & Michael]
So let me give you what you need

[Chorus: All]
It's taking me over
I don’t wanna play this game no more
All you gotta do is tell me right now
You want me right now, come on
Give me the green light
We could have all night
If you just say the words
Tell me it's alright
Give me the green light

[Outro: Calum]
Yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
