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
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

About"Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter James Taylor, from his 1972 album One Man Dog. It was released as the lead single from the album, and peaked at #14 on the Billboard charts on January 13, 1973.
The song has been included on three of Taylor's greatest-hits collection albums: Greatest Hits (1976), Classic Songs (1987) and The Best of James Taylor (2003).
It has been recorded by various pop and jazz artists, notably The Isley Brothers and Isaac Hayes, along with saxophonist Boney James, whose version was also released as a single
AllMusic reviewer Bill Janovitz wrote that the song is "a stunning example of the Tin Pan Alley-type of jazzy romantic ballad", and that the song's lyrics, about "a betrayed lover who allows his lonely heart to control his head", were unusual in that songs on that theme were usually performed by female artists.
