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
