Words And Music By James Taylor

Verse 1.

Do me wrong, do me right.

Tell me lies, but hold me tight.

Save your goodbyes for the mornin' 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.

Verse 3.

Go away then, damn ya!

Go on and do as you please, yeah.

You ain't gonna see me.

Gettin' down on my knees.

I'm undecided, and your heart's been divided.

You've been turnin' my world upside down.

Verse 4.

Do me wrong, do me right.

Right now, baby.

Go on and tell me lies, but hold me tight.

Save your goodbyes for the mornin' light, mornin' light.

But don't let me be lonely tonight.

Coda.

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, no no.

I don't want to be lonely tonight.
