[Intro]
Don't leave me, don't leave me here
On the dark side of the world (Oh baby)
Don't leave me, don't leave me here
On the dark side of the world

[Verse 1]
'Cause my days are darker than your nights
Since I lost you, babe, since I lost you, babe
I'm like an ember fading out of sight
One more tear and I know I'll disappear
(Bring back the sunshine) Ooh, come back, baby
(That you took away) Oh, 'cause I need you and I want you
And I just don't think I'm gonna make it without your love

[Chorus]
Don't leave me, don't leave me here
On the dark side of the world

[Verse 2]
'Cause such loneliness I've never known
Since I lost you, babe, since I lost you, babe
I'm like a man who once knew splendor
Now all his wealth and riches, they're all gone
(Bring back the sunshine) Listen, honey
(That you took away) Listen to me, if you can't come yourself
Please, don't send nobody else, oh
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Bring back the sunshine, baby, that you took away
Now my future lies in back of me
Since I lost you, baby, since I lost you, baby
I'll walk this lonely road into eternity
Just despair and emptiness everywhere
(Bring back the sunshine) Bring it on back, baby
(That you took away) 'Cause I need you and I want you
And I just don't think I'm gonna make it without your love

[Outro]
Don't leave me, don't leave me here (Woo)
On the dark side of the world
(Don't leave me, so dark out here)
Don't leave me, don't leave me here (Baby)
On the dark side of the world
(Baby, woo, don't leave me, darling)
Don't leave me, don't leave me here
(I don't want you to leave me, baby)
On the dark side of the world
(Woo, oh baby)
Don't leave me, don't leave me here
(Don't leave me)
On the dark side of the world
(I can't see — where will I go?)
