Lyrics

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 yeah
You ain't gonna see me gettin' down on my knees
I'm undecided, and your heart's been divided
You've been turnin' 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
