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
