Main Ingredient, The - Just Don't Want To Be Lonely Lyrics
Hey, say, wait a minute
Where you going with that suitcase
Wait a minute, listen
All right, well, you don't have to answer, just listen
That you're going away
I just don't wanna be lonely
And I don't care if we share
Only moments a day
I just don't wanna be lonely
I'd rather be loved and needed
Depended on to give a love
I can't give when you're gone
When you're gone
I'd rather be loved
I'd rather have your sweet love, sugar
I don't mind when the tide
Sets the sun to the moon
I just don't wanna be lonely
Let the stairs find you there
Waiting at the end of the room
I just don't wanna be lonely
I'd rather be loved and needed
Depended on to give a love
I can't give when you're gone
When you're gone
I don't want to be lonely
I just wanna be loved, sugar, come on
I just want to be loved, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
Ooh, Lord, have mercy
I'd rather be loved and needed
Depended on to give a love
I can't give when you're gone
When you're gone
I don't want to be lonely
I wanna be loved, baby
Yeah, come on
Gimme that sweet love, sugar
I... wanna be loved, baby
Gimme that love, sugar
Gimme that sweet, sweet sweet love, sugar
Gimme, gimme, gimme that love, baby
I don't wanna be, don't wanna be
I don't wanna be lonely, baby
No, no, no, no
Gimme that love, sugar
Come on, I don't wanna be lonely...

THAT'S MY GRANDPA AT THE LEFR SIDEE WOOOHOOOOO
Oh How Much My Father Loved This Song.
I was blessed to have met Cuba 34 years ago at a club in L.A. called the Total Experience.
Cuba, Sr.: "Hey, say wait a minute...where ya goin' with that suitcase?? Hey, wait a minute, listen! A'ight, well, well you don't have to answer. Just listen..."
Her (slamming down the suitcase, hand on hip): "What, muthafucka!?!"
Excelente cover. Hay que ser muy talentosos para lograr que un cover sea mejor que el original. Brillantes Main Ingredients
lets play all of the 70's music across the world and bring back all the great sounds back in the air. lets brings back the love in the music the peace , in 2020
Omar Gooding & Cuba Gooding Jr. looks just like their dad. Omar Gooding played in Baby Boy and Cuba Gooding Jr. played in Boyz in the Hood.
Cuba Gooding Sr. singing lead with The Main Ingredient. RIP brother Gooding. I used to listen to this after school in junior high.
Although I love The Main Ingredient and their rendition of this song, the original by Ronnie Dyson is THE original and BEST version!!!
Cuba's dad singing lead

FOR ME THE BEST VERSION OF JUST DONT WANT TO BE LONELY
I enjoy both versions, but I gotta say blue magic is superior
Great Song! music was so much better back in the 70s! Miss watching SOUL Train and America Bandstand Satuday Mornings. ❤✌🇺🇸
This was music !!!
Song has such flowin storytellin granduer happenin
The melody line is amazing.

i think they should have done like a dvd comp of every group that was on this show instead of american soul.cause the music and the dancers r what made this show what it was
Me encanta esa mucica .me encanta .me encanta .......
For those who don’t enjoy this tune possibly don’t understand music, lyrics or the voice singing it, more so, those who don’t enjoy Ronny Dysons version more......well.
When Cuba Sr. says Lawd have mercy!!!! RIP Tony Silvester and Cuba Gooding Sr.
Grown folks music
February 2, 1974 - 45 Years Ago Today: The Main Ingredient debuted at No. 96 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with their single, "Just Don't Want To Be Lonely." This was the R&B vocal trio's 8th entry on the Hot 100 and it became their second Top Ten following 1972's "Everybody Plays The Fool" when it peaked at No. 10 on May 4, 1974 and was their second single to be certified Gold. [02/02/2019]
for of us that heard of this soul & R&B.. young people missed out.. I am glad I was a young man then.. 60's - 70's what can I say..
The vocals were often live set against the instrumental playback.
I broke up with my girlfriend in my senior year in high school when this song came out in 1974. Haven't seen her since the break up and this song just haunted me whenever I hear it. But I moved on in life.
No quiero estar solo.......hermosa canción, coros y todo el arreglo musical.......agradecida con Dios por ser testiga de este tipo de canciones.
I love this song real music at its best. Growing up as a white guy in the hood this music is all I know and I love it .its about love and heartbreak.
Ouvindo esse som maravilhoso em 21/10/2018. Aliás, esse programa "Soul Train" era fantástico! Uma verdadeira exaltação da cultura negra americana. Muito soul, personalidade, espontaneidade e boa música! Uma delícia!
A versão original não é do Blue Magic, mas de Ronnie Dyson.
I did not know Cuba Gooding Jr's dad is the Lead singer who passed last year.
Can't get enough of this jam. Uh-huh
in total agreement matey, just love this classic tune by an outstanding group, RIP Cuba Gooding Snr

At the young age of 42 I can that the 70's is one of the best decades of music..
Love this song
Fantastic philly soul. This is the real deal. Now it's gone by the wayside. Thanks to youtube and others we can hear it almost anytime we want to. Most of it is downloadable onto different devices especially some car radios which have the capability.
É muita saudade pra pouco eu.
Just don’t wanna be lonely.
Que terrible tantos años..hermosa cancion. era un muchacho..hoy.......tantas nostalgias..
REMEMBERING CUBA GOODING, SR. (APRIL 27, 1944 - APRIL 20, 2017) [04/27/2018]
Boy..this takes me back in my high school days. "Good times" "Good music " 😎🤗😉
Just clicked on, this reminds me of high school days and high school dances in SoCal !!!
Good old fashion Soul Music. Love it.
He tore this song up!
This song just makes me feel good
Sweet vocals, wow, I was about fifteen years old.
Brings back memories of youthful innocence and a simpler life!
Hi Luther,
You and I used to work at a fabric factory back in the day in New York. You were a manager in our division and I was your assistant for about two years. You conveyed to me how you were in a singing group (about to blow up, so they say these days!) back then, which turned out to be The Main Ingredient. When your group became popular, I went to your show at the Apollo, and afterwards, I asked the stage manager that I’d like to say hello to you, that I knew you, so he got me and my girlfriend backstage. However, when I saw and hugged you, you looked at me like you didn’t know who the fuck I was, and then I tried to joggle your memory about us having worked together, and even then, you straight up told me, “I’m sorry, but I don’t remember you.” Isn’t that some shit? Really, Luther? It wasn’t THAT long after our working together that you became famous with your group for you to have forgotten me. I will NEVER forget that moment. I was so embarrassed, not just in front of my friend who I told I knew you, but in front of everyone around us at that time who was listening in. There’s a lot to be said for someone who becomes famous and they conveniently forget those that were in their life at some point in time. Such phonies are people like you! Was it because we worked at a factory? Many have started off doing much less before they became famous, Luther. It damn sure wasn’t because of me. I was good people and we had a good friendship, not to mention the fact that, I was a damn good assistant to you. Remember, “Sam Saul, please take out the ‘garbage’, instead of “garments”? Yeah, I truly screwed that up, but, you screwed up much more by being a person of plastic means.
great memories; fantastic group. Don't make'm like this anymore.
Una de las rolas más pegajosas de esos años
2:17 Lord have mercy!
Me recuerda a mi hermano Antoni cuando era feliz y no lo sabia,, bonitos recuerdo de mi ((niñes juventud)) ya paso,, y jamas regresara.
. . . .
Te Amo Chata
This song was originally done by Ronnie Dyson. He was never credited for it. Rip Ronnie
I miss this music
Who is listening this song in 2017?
I rather be loved and needed i just dont wana be lonly
Real Choons...magic
why ? what happen to all the good groups screw all the rap crap
RIP Cuba Gooding, Sr
Which one is Cuba Gooding Sr?
lovethis record real soulful voice
I Remember This Song in the 70's, What a Great Song, Makes you feel Those Memories.
About half the performances were lip synched. That was because the shows budget was not high dollar, so they did not have the resources to accommodate the stage setups and sound checks. Some of the more established acts like Quincy Jones, Barry White and James Brown financed their own appearances. Word of mouth and visibility sells records.
those were the days..
muito bom
Amazing group and Amazing Artists always have enjoyed their music Mr.Gooding Sr has two sons great actors and very sad to hear about the passing of Mr.Gooding Sr My prayers for the family Rest in perfect peace
LORD HAVE MERCY. WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY, EXCEPT HEAVENLY. WOW.
RIP my brother Cuba.
I was so, in love with this song.
Everlasting
Thank you Cuba Gooding Sr. for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. May GOD bless your legacy and surviving family..
Rest in peace Cuba Gooding Sr.🙏🏽
