00:17She don't want nobody here
00:20But you can't get away from that
00:24They appear and disappear
00:27And they all get a string of ties
00:31Pretty soon they've got you hanging on the line
00:38Pretty soon they're singing one by one
00:42The same old rhyme
00:44They say I'm alright
00:45Just can't get home tonight
00:55She don't want nobody home
00:58Cause it's a little too crowded then
01:02She don't want to be alone
01:05So they just keep pouring in
01:08Pretty soon they've got her headed for the door
01:15She comes home to find
01:18They're not hanging around no more
01:21She says I'm alright
01:23I just can't get home tonight
01:25Don't you wonder what she looks like in the light
01:31She says I'm alright
01:33I just can't get home tonight
01:40Pretty whitewash lies
01:42In the celibate
01:45Reasons that need cleaning every night
01:53Half a world away
01:56You can't wash away
01:59The stain of the ceilings
02:02And the things that you cannot believe
02:06And well
02:06She don't want no one around
02:10Cause she don't want anybody to see
02:13What she looks like when she's down
02:17Cause it's a really sad place to be
02:20Pretty soon they've got her falling up the walls
02:27Then you wonder why
02:29They better please to never call
02:33She says I'm okay
02:35It's alright
02:36Hey, look who's on TV tonight
02:40She says I'm alright
02:41I just can't get home tonight
02:44Don't you wonder why
02:46It's dark outside at night
02:49She says I'm alright
02:51I just can't get home tonight
02:56She says I'm alright
02:58She can't get home tonight
