Lyrics
I don't want to
Go on without you
(Ooh) It's so bad to be alone
Oh baby come home
I need you
Yes I do now
My room is so blue
I keep seein' your face
Oh, every place
Here in the gloom
Of my lonely room
I hold her handkerchief
And smell her sweet perfume
(Oh) I can't stand to
(No, no, no, no, no)
Live on without you
(Ooh) Oh my darlin' hear my plea
Come on back to me
Here in the gloom
Of my lonely room
I hold her handkerchief
And smell her sweet perfume
(Whoa) I can't stand to
(No, no) Live on without you
(Ooh) Oh my darlin' hear my plea
Come on back to me
I don't want to
(I don't want to, I don't wanna baby)
Go on without you
I don't want to
(Said I don't wanna, I don't wanna)
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna)
