Nobody Wants To Be Lonely

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
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
Nobody wants to be lonely
(You know they don't)
And no, no nobody wants to be sad
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
'Cause nobody wants to be lonely
No, baby
No, nobody wants to be sad
Are you listening to me baby?
I'm telling you
Nobody wants to be lonely
No, nobody wants to be sad
