Shel Silverstein
I Don’t Want to Be Alone Tonight
[Verse 1]
Your phone's gonna ring in the darkness of night
And you'll rise from the bed where you lay
And you'll answer 'hello', and from out of the past
A voice you once loved is gonna say

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be alone tonight
I don't wanna be alone
And I had to call someone who used to care
I don't wanna be alone tonight
I don't wanna be alone
So say that you still want me, and I'll be there

[Verse 2]
Maybe someday you'll lie there and look at the rain
Feelin' afraid and alone
Feelin' a hunger you just can't explain
And you'll be the voice on the phone

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be alone tonight
I don't wanna be alone
And I had to call someone who used to care
I don't wanna be alone tonight
I don't wanna be alone
So say that you still want me, and I'll be there
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be alone tonight
I don't wanna be alone
And I had to call someone who used to care
I don't wanna be alone tonight
I don't wanna be alone
So say that you still want me, and I'll be there
