Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight
Embrace the Bittersweet Symphony of Love: Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight
Lyrics
Do me wrong, do me right
Expressing a willingness to experience both positive and negative emotions in the relationship.
Tell me lies but hold me tight
Open to hearing untruths but seeking physical comfort and emotional closeness.
Save your good-byes for the morning light
Suggesting that farewells should be postponed until the next day.
But don't let me be lonely tonight
Desiring companionship and requesting not to be left feeling lonely tonight.
Say goodbye and say hello
Mixing farewells with greetings, acknowledging the joy of reunion but recognizing the need to part.
Sure enough good to see you, but it's time to go
Expressing happiness at seeing the person but emphasizing the inevitability of departure.
Don't say yes but please don't say no
Asking the person not to commit definitively to leaving or staying.
I don't want to be lonely tonight
Declaring a preference not to be alone tonight, indicating a desire for emotional connection.
Go away then, damn you, go on and do as you please
Telling the person to go if they wish, asserting independence and refusing to beg.
You ain't gonna see me getting down on my knees
Rejecting the idea of pleading or supplication in the face of the person's actions.
I'm undecided, and your heart's been divided
Expressing uncertainty and noting the person's emotional conflict.
You've been turning my world upside down
Highlighting the significant impact of the person's actions on the speaker's emotional state.
Do me wrong, do me right, right now, baby
Reiterating the acceptance of both positive and negative actions in the current moment.
Go on and tell me lies but hold me tight
Encouraging the person to be dishonest but to provide physical comfort.
Save your good-byes for the morning light, morning light
Repeating the idea of delaying farewells until the morning light.
But don't let me be lonely tonight
Reaffirming the desire to avoid loneliness tonight.
I don't want to be lonely tonight, no, no
Expressing the strong wish not to be lonely tonight.
I don't want to be lonely tonight
Repeating the sentiment of not wanting to be alone tonight.
I don't want to be lonely tonight
Reiterating the aversion to loneliness tonight.
