Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight
Embrace the Ambiguity: Love's Tangled Dance in Adrian Deno's Melody
Lyrics
Do me wrong
Expressing a desire to experience wrongdoing or mistreatment.
Do me right
Desiring to be treated well or correctly.
Tell me lies, but hold me tight
Requesting to hear falsehoods while seeking emotional closeness.
Save your goodbyes for the morning light
Suggesting to postpone farewells until the morning.
But don't let me be lonely tonight
Expressing a fear of loneliness and a plea for companionship.
Say goodbye and say hello
Acknowledging both parting and reunion.
Sure it's good to see you and it's time to go
Expressing joy in seeing someone but recognizing the need to leave.
Don't say "Yes", but please don't say "No"
Asking for neither a definitive "Yes" nor a definite "No."
I don't want to be lonely tonight
Expressing a strong desire to avoid loneliness that night.
Go away then, damn you
Expressing frustration and urging the person to leave.
Go on and do as you please
Granting freedom to the person to act as they wish.
Darling, you ain't gonna see me gettin' down on my knees
Asserting independence and refusing to beg or plead.
I'm undecided and yes, and your heart it's been divided
Expressing uncertainty and acknowledging a divided heart.
You've been turning my world upside down you know, know
Describing the impact of the person's actions on the speaker's world.
So do me wrong, but do me right, right now baby
Encouraging the person to treat the speaker wrongly but in the right way.
Go on and tell me lies, but hold me tight
Reiterating the desire for lies while seeking physical closeness.
And save your goodbyes for the morning light
Advising to delay goodbyes until the morning.
But don't let me be lonely tonight
Reiterating the fear of loneliness and the plea for companionship.
I don't wanna
Expressing a strong unwillingness or desire against something.
No
Reiterating a negative response or refusal.
Please don't let be lonely
Repeating the plea to avoid loneliness.
I don't wanna be lonely tonight
Reiterating the strong desire to avoid loneliness that night.
I don't wanna be lonely tonight
Expressing a repeat of the fear of loneliness and the desire for companionship.
No, no
Reiterating the strong unwillingness or desire against something.
