Nobody likes losin' a friend or a lover Nobody likes being alone Nobody wants to feel like somebody don't need them Nobody likes being alone So stop. Turn around Just look at what we're doin' Callin' it quits Like a couple of fools Oh, stop. Come back Let's try a little harder 'Cause leavin's for unbelievers And I believe that we're in love Everyone's had a little heartache inside them But that ain't no reason for sayin' goodbye And everyone's seen a little thunder and lightenin' But that ain't no reason to run and hide So stop. Turn around Just look at what we're doin' Callin' it quits Like a couple of fools Oh, stop. Come back Let's try a little harder 'Cause leavin's for unbelievers And I believe that we're in love
