He controls her
“You’re not going out tonight”
And then he holds her
Too tight
“Oh did I mention?
That we could get a takeaway?
Cos it’s convention
Oh they say”

And we’re gonna’ get a video
Cuddle on the sofa
All her mates are clubbing as she gets a little older
Nobody wants to be abandoned

“Don’t go Mum”
The kids are crying on the stairs
“I’ve got to go son,
It’s not fair”
“Make her stop Dad”
And then he tries to make her wait
But he’s so sad
It’s too late

And then she slams the door
Kids are crying on the sofa
“Mummy’s telling lies understand it when you’re older”
Nobody wants to be abandoned

I don’t wanna’ be left alone tonight
Don’t wanna be a-alone tonight
Don’t wanna feel all alone tonight

Since he passed on
Elizibeth tries to get about
She’s the last one
No doubt
Oh and she does well
They say she’s pushing 73
But you can tell
She’s lonely

Looking at her wedding photo
Sitting on the sofa
Tears in her eyes
Reminiscing that she’s older
Nobody wants to feel abandoned

I don’t wanna’ be left alone tonight
Don’t wanna be a-alone tonight
Don’t wanna feel all alone tonight
I don’t wanna’ be left alone tonight
Don’t wanna be a-alone tonight
Don’t wanna feel all alone tonight
