Leave Me Alone
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
I love you so
Much more when you're not here
Watchin' all the bad shows
Drinking all of my beer
I don't believe Adam and Eve
Spent every goddamn day together
If you give me some room, there will be room enough for two
Tonight
Leave me alone; I'm lonely
Alone, I'm lonely
I'm tired
Leave me alone; I'm lonely
Alone, I'm lonely tonight
I don't wanna wake up with another
But I don't wanna always wake up with you either
No, you can't hop into my shower
All I ask for is one fuckin' hour
You taste so sweet
But I can't eat the same thing every day
Cuttin' off the phone
Leave me the fuck alone
Tomorrow I'll be beggin' you to come home
Tonight
Leave me alone; I'm lonely
Alone, I'm lonely
I'm tired
Leave me alone; I'm lonely
Alone, I'm lonely tonight
Go away
Come back
Go away
Come back
Why can't I just have it both ways?
Go away
Come back
Go away
Come back
I wish you knew the difference
Go away
Come back
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
Tonight
Leave me alone; I'm lonely
Alone, I'm lonely
I'm tired
Leave me alone; I'm lonely
Alone, I'm lonely tonight
Tonight
Leave me alone; I'm lonely
Alone, I'm lonely
I'm tired
Leave me alone; I'm lonely
Alone, I'm lonely tonight
Tonight
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Leave me alone; I'm lonely
Alone, I'm lonely
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
I'm tired
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Leave me alone; I'm lonely
Alone, I'm lonely
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
Tonight
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you, kiss you
