Nobody Wants To Be Lonely

Think about it

Every now and then

I go to the old folks' home

To visit my old friend

And he always asks me

When I'm coming back again

And I tell him I'll be here

Just as soon as I can

So many people are left alone (Oh, baby)

They don't even get a call on the telephone (Nah, nah, nah)

The older kids have been gone so long

And they don't know if they're ever gonna come back home

But I tell ya

Nobody wants to be lonely

(You know they don't)

And no, no nobody wants to be sad

Listen to me baby

My best years are behind me

Because of my age

But I won't quit living 'til I'm dead in my grave

(Nah, nah, nah)

I'm determined to try to be strong

Even if I have to do it all alone

'Cause nobody wants to be lonely

No, baby

No, nobody wants to be sad

Are you listening to me baby?

I’m telling you

Nobody wants to be lonely

No, nobody wants to be sad
