[Verse 1]
I wanna know, is it worth it
Tryna' get this right (tryna' get this right)
I know I shouldn't love you
You're always feeding me lies (always feeding me lies)
Now I'm staying home, waiting
Ain't nothin' on TV (on the TV)
I don't want your prized possessions
I want you here with me (ooh!)
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna let you know (know)
I'm not just for show (sho-o-o-ow)
Either you let me go (go)
Or give me love, love, love
[Chorus]
You gotta understand the reasons why
I wanna try to make things right
(I don't wanna be alone tonight)
Pretty baby I don't want another useless night
I don't wanna be alone toni-i-ight
[Verse 2]
Oh my Lord, have mercy (oh my God)
Something's wrong in my head (Hey-yay-yay-yay-yay)
Some say get her to a doctor
I came to see you instead (ooh!)
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna let you know (know)
I'm not just for show (sho-o-o-ow)
Either you let me go (go)
Or give me love, love, love
[Chorus]
You gotta understand the reasons why
I wanna try to make things right
(I don't wanna be alone tonight)
Pretty baby I don't want another useless night
(I don't wanna be alone tonight)
I'm here to see you cause I want you to feel my plight
(I don't wanna be alone tonight)
Boy ya gotta either (love me right) or let me be
(I don't wanna be alone tonight)
Oh no!
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna let you know (know)
I'm not just for show (sho-o-o-ow)
Either you let me go (go)
Or give me love, love, love
[Chorus]
You gotta understand the reason why (understand the reason)
I wanna try to make things right
(I don't wanna be alone tonight)
Pretty baby I don't want another useless night
(I don't wanna be alone tonight)
I'm here to see you cause I want you to feel my plight
(I don't wanna be alone tonight)
Boy ya gotta either (love me right) or let me be
I don't wanna be alone toni-i-ight
[Outro]
Boy, you know I love you
Mmmm, Oh no no no no, baby
Don't leave me here overnight
Oh no no no no, baby
Don't leave me here through the night
