Verse 1

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 

Verse 2

Say goodbye and say hello
Sure 'nuf 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 

Bridge

Go away then damn ya
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

Verse 3

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, oh no...
I don't want to be lonely tonight.
