They appear and disappear
And they all get a string attached
Pretty soon they got you hanging on a 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
