I woke up this morning

And my back door was open

I knew that you left me behind

You had been by my side

We had nothing to hide

But I didn't think

You'd change your mind.



Darling you know

When my feelings are showing

It's hard to keep my love in control

Don't leave me lonely

You know I want you only

You'll always have my love to hold

But everybody knows what I need

I need love.



Chorus:

Don't leave me lonely tonight

Stay home and make it right

Don't leave me lonely tonight

Stay at home and hold me tight.



So if you've got your doubts

Or you're feelin' down and out

Just pick up your telephone

I'll always be there

To show you that I care

I'll see that you're never alone.



Stay by my side

We've got nothing to hide

We know this love of ours is real

We'll never be lonely

If you just love me only

You'll always know just how I feel

Everybody knows just what we need

We need love.



Chorus:

Don't leave me lonely tonight

Stay home and make it right

Don't leave me lonely tonight

Stay at home and hold me tight.



I woke up this morning

And my back door was open

I knew that you left me behind

You had been by my side

We had nothing to hide

But I didn't think

You'd change your mind.



Darling you know

When my feelings are showing

It's hard to keep my love in control

Don't leave me lonely

You know I want you only

You'll always have my love to hold

But everybody knows what we need

We need love.



Chorus:

Don't leave me lonely tonight

Stay home and make it right

Don't leave me lonely tonight

Stay at home and hold me tight.
