Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight
The Isley Brothers · Other Songs - The Isley Brothers
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
Say goodbye, woman say hello, say hello
Sure enough good to see you, oh 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 and do as you please, go and do as you please girl,
You ain't gonna see me getting down on my knees
Cause I'm undecided, and your heart's been divided
You've been turning my world upside down
Do me wrong, do me right, do me right baby
Go on and tell me lies but hold me tight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight
I don't won't to be lonely tonight no, no I don't
want to be lonely tonight
I don't want to be lonely tonight
Tell me lies, but hold me tight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight
Say goodbye, woman say hello, say hello
Sure enough good to see you, oh 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 and do as you please, go and do as you please girl,
You ain't gonna see me getting down on my knees
Cause I'm undecided, and your heart's been divided
You've been turning my world upside down
Do me wrong, do me right, do me right baby
Go on and tell me lies but hold me tight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight
I don't won't to be lonely tonight no, no I don't
want to be lonely tonight
I don't want to be lonely tonight
