Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight Lyrics

Do me wrong, do me right
Tell me lies, but hold me tight
Save your good-byes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight

Say good-bye and say hello
Sure 'nough 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

Go away then, damn you
Go on and do as you please, yeah
You ain't gonna see me getting down on my knees
I'm undecided and your heart's been divided
You've been turning my world upside down

Do me wrong, do me right, right now baby
Go on and tell me lies, but hold me tight
Save your good-byes for the morning light, morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight
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

Do me wrong, do me right
Tell me lies, but hold me tight
Save your good-byes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight

Say good-bye and say hello
Sure 'nough 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

Go away then, damn you
Go on and do as you please, yeah
You ain't gonna see me getting down on my knees
I'm undecided and your heart's been divided
You've been turning my world upside down

Do me wrong, do me right, right now baby
Go on and tell me lies, but hold me tight
Save your good-byes for the morning light, morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight
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

What is the Meaning of Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight?

James Taylor's croon is the soundtrack to every romantic rollercoaster 🚂. This lyrical gem captures a lover's desperate plea for companionship, even if it means enduring some fibs and fickleness. Our protagonist is caught in a whirlwind of mixed signals and emotional turmoil, yet all he really wants is someone to hold him tight through the night. He's torn between telling his lover to take a hike or begging them to stay—because let's face it, loneliness isn't his jam. So, whether it's lies or lullabies, he's willing to take whatever comes his way as long as he doesn't end up solo under the moonlight 🌙.
