Nobody Wants To Be Lonely

[Verse 1]
Think about it
Every now and then
I go to the old folks' home
To visit my old friend
And he always asks me
When I'm coming back again
And I tell him I'll be here
Just as soon as I can

[Verse 2]
So many people are left alone (Oh, baby)
They don't even get a call on the telephone (Nah, nah, nah)
The older kids have been gone so long
And they don't know if they're ever gonna come back home
But I tell ya

[Chorus]
Nobody wants to be lonely
(You know they don't)
And no, no nobody wants to be sad

[Verse 3]
Listen to me baby
My best years are behind me
Because of my age
But I won't quit living 'til I'm dead in my grave
(Nah, nah, nah)
I'm determined to try to be strong
Even if I have to do it all alone

[Chorus]
'Cause nobody wants to be lonely
No, baby
No, nobody wants to be sad

[Chorus]
Are you listening to me baby?
I’m telling you
Nobody wants to be lonely
No, nobody wants to be sad
