They Don't Want You
Elli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All our friends keep knocking at the door
They've asked me out a hundred times or more
But all I say is, "Leave me in the gloom"
And here I stay within my lonely room
'Cause

I don't want to walk without you, Baby
Walk without my arm about you, Baby
I thought the day you left me behind
I'd take a stroll and get you right off my mind
But now I find that
I don't want to walk without the sunshine
Why'd you have to turn off all that sunshine?
Oh, Baby, please come back or you'll break my heart for me




'Cause I don't want to walk without you
No, sire

@micaelalilley2237

Can i just say, i love how ellie tried to defend her friends to her mom. she was so small and still stood up to her

@smileymini4829

Yes. Ellie is adorable she's my favorite

@kate5524

Yes but I think Lilly did the wrong thing. I love elli tho

@soulful_mind

@@kate5524 she just told her mom that she was called out on something she didn’t do? There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s not like Lilly should consume that accusation like it was nothing. Yolanda was crossing the line by just accusing Lilly and taking her frustrations on a child.

@micaelalilley2237

@@kate5524 i dont think she was wrong I just think she used the wrong words. when your'e a kid, an adult attacking you feels like them yelling.
