It's not funny when you're lonely
It's much better when you're living in harmony
With someone you're really digging
And you want to give it all that you've got
Don't wanna make you cry
Don't wanna tell you lies
Don't wanna bring you down
Or treat you unkind
Just wanna make you mine
And hear you laugh all the time
Don't wanna break this tie
I'm telling you why
It's not funny when you're lonely
It's much better when you're living in harmony
With someone you're really digging
And you want to give it all that you've got
Now things were bad before
So I walked out the door
I guess I soon found out
What life's all about
But now I'm here to stay
Can't see me wandering away
Don't wanna break this tie
I'm telling you why
You can take a little loving
But if you're not giving
It'll never be worthwhile
You can take a little loving
But if you're not giving
It'll never work out fine
Play it to me, John
But now I'm here to stay
Can't see me wandering away
Don't wanna break this tie
I'm telling you why
It's not funny when you're lonely
It's much better when you're living in harmony
It's much better when you're living in harmony
With someone you're really digging
And you want to give it all that you've got
Don't wanna make you cry
Don't wanna tell you lies
Don't wanna bring you down
Or treat you unkind
Just wanna make you mine
And hear you laugh all the time
Don't wanna break this tie
I'm telling you why
It's not funny when you're lonely
It's much better when you're living in harmony
With someone you're really digging
And you want to give it all that you've got
Now things were bad before
So I walked out the door
I guess I soon found out
What life's all about
But now I'm here to stay
Can't see me wandering away
Don't wanna break this tie
I'm telling you why
You can take a little loving
But if you're not giving
It'll never be worthwhile
You can take a little loving
But if you're not giving
It'll never work out fine
Play it to me, John
But now I'm here to stay
Can't see me wandering away
Don't wanna break this tie
I'm telling you why
It's not funny when you're lonely
It's much better when you're living in harmony
