She Don't Want Nobody Near

She Don't Want Nobody Near - Counting Crows (數烏鴉)

She don't want nobody near

She 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
