🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Whoa, whoa
  • Gravity is working against me
  • And gravity wants to bring me down
  • Oh, twice as much ain't twice as good

Echo the hook

  • Just keep me where the light is
  • Just keep me where the light is
  • Just keep me where the light is
  • Come on, keep me where the light is
