|
She don't want nobody near |
|
But you can't get away from that |
|
They appear and disappear |
|
And they all get a string attached |
|
Pretty soon they got you hanging on the line |
|
Pretty soon they're singing one by one the same old rhyme |
|
They say, I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight |
|
She don't want nobody home |
|
'Cause it's a little too crowded then |
|
But she don't wanna be alone |
|
So they just keep pouring in |
|
Pretty soon they got her headed for the door |
|
She comes home to find |
|
That they're not hanging 'round no more |
|
She says I'm alright, you just can't get home tonight |
|
Don't you wonder what she looks like in the light? |
|
She says I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight |
|
Pretty whitewashed lies, endless alibis |
|
And the reasons that need cleaning every night |
|
Half a world away, you can't wash away the stain of the deceiving |
|
And the things that you cannot believe, and well |
|
She don't want no one around |
|
'Cause she don't want anybody to see |
|
What she looks like when she's down |
|
'Cause that's a really sad place to be |
|
Pretty soon she gets them crawling up the walls |
|
Then she wonders why they beg her please to never call |
|
She says, I'm ok. It's alright. Hey, look who's on TV tonight |
|
She says, I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight |
|
Don't you wonder why it's dark outside at night? |
|
She says, I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight |
|
She says, I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight |
