Leave Me Alone
Pink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go away
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 (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

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)
Say goodbye, it'll make me want to kiss you (leave me alone I'm lonely, alone I'm lonely)

I'm tired (go away, give me a chance to miss you)
Say goodbye, it'll make me want to kiss you (leave me alone I'm lonely, alone I'm lonely)

Go away
Give me a chance to miss you




Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
