Don't Leave Me Now
q. stone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don’t like the way that whiskey burns my throat
I’ll drink rose from the bottle til I feel like I can float
Float away from all my problems
And watch them pass me by
Stumbling down the street
How drunk am I
I’ve never been the kinda girl who likes to party
No I’m not the type to sip Coke and Bacardi
Please don’t make me leave my house
Netflix is my best friend and I’d really rather stay in
It’s easier if I don’t have to answer all your questions
Please don’t make me leave my couch
Maybe I’m a little lonely but I like it just fine
I’d rather hang out with Joey
And see my real friends another time
What to say & what to wear
It’s so much work to do my hair
In case you can’t tell
I don’t want to be there
I’ve never been the kinda girl who likes to party
No I’m not the type to sip Coke and Bacardi
Please don’t make me leave my house
Netflix is my best friend and I’d really rather stay in
It’s easier if I don’t have to answer all your questions
Please don’t make me leave my couch
I know I cancel every time you try to hang out
But please don’t make me leave my house
I’d rather be home on my couch
I just need some space to be alone
It’s not you it’s me
So please don’t make me leave my house
I’d rather be home on my couch
I’ve never been the kinda girl who likes to party
No I’m not the type to sip Coke and Bacardi
I’ve never been the kinda girl who likes to party
No I’m not the type to sip Coke and Bacardi
Please don’t make me leave my house
Netflix is my best friend and I’d really rather stay in
It’s easier if I don’t have to answer all your questions
Please don’t make me leave my couch




Please don’t make me leave my house
I’d rather be home on my couch
