When you come how from work – dark house and noone’s there
You might think that nobody cares
If the telephone won’t ring and no message is waiting
You can’t say that hope for love is fading
If you don’t want to be alone
You don’t have to stay at home
Someone else is out there you are not the only
One who hates to be lonely
You don’t have to be lonely
When he saw her out one night, he said to himself
I bet she’s here to meet somebody else
But a friend introduced her and one year later to the day
Down on one knee he took her hand to say
If you don’t want to be alone
You don’t have to stay at home
Someone else is out there you are not the only
One who hates to be lonely
You don’t have to be lonely
But time passes and seasons change
They shared the same address and name but they lived separate lives
It’s a thing that can happen to husbands and wives
They hadn’t spoken for two weeks unless it was to shout
When she asked him to think of moving out
‘Cause if you don’t want to be alone
You don’t have to stay at home
Someone else is out there you are not the only
One who hates to be lonely
We don’t have to be lonely
