Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight
Wet Wet Wet · Popped In Souled Out [1987]
Treat me wrong
Treat me right
Do me now baby
Tell me lies, but oh hold me tight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light
Lord I don't wanna be lonely tonight
Come and say hello
Come and say goodbye
Sure good enough to see you
Apart when it's time to go
Don't say ends, but but but please
Don't say lord I don't wanna be lonely tonight
Gonna whale down your ha heart
I'm gonna do as you please
Gonna do as you please, girl
You ain't gonna see me getting down on my knees
Cos my heart has been divided, ooh
And my souls been excited
You've been turning my world upside down
More baby
Come and say hello
Come and say goodbye
Sure good enough to see you
Apart when it's time to go
Don't say ends, but but but please
Don't say lord I don't wanna be lonely tonight
Oh babe
I don't wanna be lonely tonight
I don't wanna be lonely tonight
Woh woh, I don't wanna be lonely tonight
Don't Let Me Lonely Tonight

This track exemplifies their ability to blend heartfelt lyrics with accessible arrangements, establishing the emotional core that would later define their commercial success.
