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

    Say good-bye and say hello
    Sure 'nough 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 getting 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 good-byes 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 Writer/s: James Taylor
