All our friends keep knocking at the door
They’ve asked me out a hundred times or more
But all I say is, «Leave me in the gloom»
And here I stay within my lonely room
'Cause…
I don’t want to walk without you, Baby
Walk without my arm about you, Baby
I thought the day you left me behind
I’d take a stroll and get you right off my mind
But now I find that
I don’t want to walk without the sunshine
Why’d you have to turn off all that sunshine?
Oh, Baby, please come back or you’ll break my heart for me
'Cause I don’t want to walk without you
No, siree
