Dark Side Of The World

(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)

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

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
That you took away

Cause I need ya
And I want ya
Just don't think I'm gonna make it without your love

Don't you know
Such a loneliness I've never known
Since I lost you babe
Since I lost you babe
I'm like a woman who once knew splendour
Now all her wealth and riches
They are gone

Bring back the sunshine
That you took away
Cause I need ya
And I want ya
And I just don't think I'm gonna make it without your love

Bring back the sunshine that you took away

Now my future lies in back of me
Since I lost you babe
Since I lost you babe
I walk this lonely road to eternity
Just despair and emptiness everywhere

Bring back the sunshine
That you took away
Cause I need ya
And I want ya
I just don't think I'm gonna make it without your love

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

Oh don't you leave me here
On the dark side of the world
Cause I need ya
Ooh you know I want ya
Right here on the dark side of the world
