Woo
Yeah yeah, hey
Ohh, ooh
Ooh, yeah, yeah

I don't wanna be (be without ya, be without ya)
I don't wanna live (live without ya, live without ya)
I don't wanna go (go without ya, go without ya)
I don't wanna be alone

When we hooked up, we sat down
Made and an agreement, we vowed that
That we'd always be together, do whatever
We said that
No one ever get between us
This love would never ever leave us
That was a while ago
But now lately it feels like
I mean I feel like all we do is fight
Every single night, we can't make it tight
Can't get it right
I just wanna go back, take it way back
All the way back, can we start again? Do it over
Can we straighten it out? Can we work it out

'Cause I don't wanna be (be without ya, be without ya)
I don't wanna live (live without ya, live without ya)
I don't wanna go (go without ya, go without ya)
Said, sugar, I don't wanna be alone

I don't wanna be (be without ya, be without ya, ohh)
I don't wanna live (live without ya, live without ya)
I don't wanna go (go without ya, go without ya)
Sugar, I don't wanna be alone

Do you realize
I can't sleep without ya, think without ya
Eat without ya, speak without ya, be without ya?
I can't even breathe without ya (uh)
I can't feel with out ya, deal without ya, spend without ya
My whole world is upside down

Don't wanna go out 'cause I can't ride without ya
Feel like I'm gon' die without ya
What is a girl supposed to do?
When I spend my last time to be in your life
I don't wanna be without you (I don't wanna be)

I can't be (be without ya, be without ya)
Said, I don't wanna live (live without ya, live without ya)
I can't wanna go (go without ya, go without ya)
Said, I don't wanna be alone

Said, I can't be (be without ya, be without ya, ohh)
Said, I can't live (live without ya, live without ya)
I don't wanna go (go without ya, go without ya)
Said, I don't wanna be alone

How can this be (that it's not workin' out)
That it's not workin' out?
We vowed to be always together
It's hurting me (hurting me) that we don't talk no more
It wasn't supposed to be this way
Where did we go wrong?
We both made mistakes, we gotta carry on

I don't wanna be (be without ya, be without ya)
I don't wanna live (live without ya, live without ya)
I don't wanna go (go without ya, go without ya)
I don't wanna be alone

I don't wanna be (be without ya, be without ya)
I don't wanna live (live without ya, live without ya)
I don't wanna go (go without ya, go without ya)
I don't wanna be alone (be alone)

I don't wanna be (be without ya, be without ya)
I don't wanna live (live without ya, live without ya)
I don't wanna go (go without ya, go without ya)
I don't wanna be alone (yeah, baby)

I don't wanna be (be without ya, be without ya)
I don't wanna live (live without ya, live without ya) (do you hear me?)
I don't wanna go (go without ya, go without ya) (baby, are you listening?)
I don't wanna be alone (what you do to me, what you do to me)

Don't wanna be no, (no), no (no, yeah)
Alone, baby, come home

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."

Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
