There you are in a darkened room
And you’re all alone looking out the window
Your heart is cold and lost the will to love
Like a broken arrow

Here I stand in the shadows
Come to me, come to me
Can’t you see that

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body’s longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside

Time is precious and it’s slippin' away
And I’ve been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely, so why
Why don’t you let me love you

Can you hear my voice
Do you hear my song
It’s a serenade
So your heart can find me
Ooh, oh, and suddenly
Your flying down the stairs
Into my arms, baby

Before I start going crazy
Run to me run to me
'Cause I’m dying

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body’s longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside

Time is precious and it’s slipping away
And I’ve been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why
Why don’t you let me love you

I want to feel you deeply
Just like the air you’re breathin'
I need you here in my life
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away
Don’t walk away, walk away
No, no, no, no

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry

Nobody wants to be lonely
I don’t want to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
I don’t want to cry
My body’s longing to hold you
I’m longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside

Time is precious and it’s slippin' away
And I’ve been waitin' for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why
Why don’t you let me love you

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body’s longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Nobody wants to be lonely
I don’t want to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
