Do me wrong, do me right
Tell me lies but hold me tight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight

Say goodbye and say hello
Sure enough good to see you, but it's time to go
Don't say yes but please don't say no
I don't want to be lonely tonight

Go away then, damn you
Go on and do as you please
You ain't gonna see me gettin' down on my knees
I'm undecided, and your heart's been divided
You've been turning my world upside down

Do me wrong, do me right (right now baby)
Go on and tell me lies but hold me tight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light (morning light)
But don't let me be lonely tonight
I don't want to be lonely tonight
No, no, I don't want to be lonely tonight

I don't want to be lonely tonight
