Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, say, wait a minute
Where you goin' with that suitcase?
Hey, wait a minute, listen
Alright, well, well, you don't have to answer
Just listen
[Verse 2]
I don't mind when you say
That you're goin' away
I just don't want to be lonely
And I don't care if we share
Only moments a day
I just don't want to be lonely
[Verse 3]
I'd rather be loved and needed
Depended on to give a love
I can't give (Ooh) when you're gone
When you're gone (When you're gone)
I just don't want to be lonely
I'd rather be loved
(I'd rather be loved) I'd rather have your sweet love, sugar
[Verse 4]
I don't mind if the tide
Sets the sun to the moon
I just don't want to be lonely (Just don't want to be lonely)
Let the stair find you there
Waitin' at the end of the room
I just don't want to be lonely (Just don't want to be lonely)
[Verse 5]
I'd rather be loved and needed
Depended on to give a love
I can't give (Ooh) when you're gone
When you're gone (When you're gone)
I don't wanna be lonely
I just wanna be loved, sugar, come on
I just wanna be loved, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
Ooh, Lord, have mercy (Want to be loved)
[Verse 6]
I'd rather be loved and needed
Depended on to give a love
I can't give (Ooh) when you're gone
When you're gone (When you're gone)
I don't wanna be lonely
I wanna be loved, baby
Yeah, come on
(Want to be loved) Gimme that sweet love, sugar
I wanna be loved, baby (Doo doo, doo doo)
Gimme that love, sugar
Gimme that sweet, sweet, sweet love, sugar
Gimme, gimme, gimme that love, baby
I don't wanna be
Don't wanna be
I don't wanna be lonely, babe
No, no, no, no
Gimme that love, sugar, come on
I don't wanna be lonely, baby
