I don't mind when you say that you're going away I just don't want to be lonely And I don't care if you share only moments a day I just don't want to be lonely [Chorus:] I'd rather be loved and needed Depended on to give a love I can't give When you're gone, when you're gone I just don't want to be lonely I'd just rather be loved I don't mind when the time sets the sun to the moon I just don't want to be lonely Let the stairs find you there, at the end of the room I just don't want to be lonely [Chorus: Repeat 2X]
