Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do me wrong, do me right
Tell me lies, but hold me tight
And save your goodbyes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight
[Verse 2]
Say, "Goodbye," and say, "Hello"
It's 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
[Verse 3]
Go away, then damn you, go on and do as you please, yeah
You ain't gonna see me getting down on my knees
I'm undecided and your hearts been divided
You've been turning my world upside down, no, no
[Verse 4]
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
