She can`t keep away from them
Waits here and disappears
From the wrong things she intends (?)
Pretty soon they`ve got you hanging on a line
Pretty soon they string you one by one, same old rope
She says, `I`m alright, just take me home tonight
She don`t want nobody home
cause its a little too crowded there
She don`t want to be alone
So they just keep pouring in
Pretty soon they`ve got her heading for the door
She comes home to find they cannot hang around no more
She says, `I`m alright, just take me home tonight`
Pain won`t rationalize all those alibis
and reasons that keep creeping in tonight
You`re half a world away
But I just can`t wash away the stain of
every single thing that you could not believe
oh well
She don`t want no one around
she don`t want anybody to see
what she looks like when she`s down
cause the truth`s a sad place to be
Pretty soon she gets them crawling up the walls
Every sunday morning the bed bleeds and you never saw ?
She says, `I`m ok, its alright, hey look what do
we want to do tonight?`
She says, `I`m alright, I just can`t get home
tonight.`
