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
