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
