Counting Crows - She Don't Want Nobody Near Lyrics






She don't want nobody near
But you can't get away from that
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 have 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 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"

  5. S.... B....

    This is my theme song.

  6. T.... O....

    They say this was the first video he discovered his hands.

  7. T.... J....

    A song in 2003 that has to me a 90’s feel to it. These guys were awesome

  8. D.... P....

    Love this song.

  9. B.... F....

    great song and fantastic video. i wonder who directed it?

  10. B.... F....

    man, such an amazing video. and a great song. should have more views

  11. C.... Z....

    lve u Adam

  12. A.... W....

    im alright

  13. A.... J....

    This band always brings something different and special. Will always sound brand new to me.

  14. A.... W....

    my song

  15. S.... E....

    i always thought Courtney Cox was in the video for some reason?

    S.... E....

    she's in the video for Long December

  16. C.... P....

    best song of theirs imo.

  17. S.... B....

    my theme song

  18. j.... ....

    What a damn good song..... too bad it doesn't get the air play it rightfully deserves.

  19. W.... ....

    Come for the pineapple comments

  20. A.... C....

    best writer to come around for a long time. follow this band since 93. Last album wonderland is amazin

    A.... C....

    Absolutely agree ♡

  21. A.... J....

    Why did I not see this before? Love this band they put mortal bands in the shade. Visionaries. Inspiration to write and play for plebs like me.

  22. p.... e....

    Very great indeed - awesome in fact

  23. G.... L....

    This is the music for people who are forever lost in their own half memories of life.

    G.... L....

    +Cameron Kay You say that like it's a bad thing.

    G.... L....

    Well its not a fun thing but the music makes it better

    G.... L....

    HA!! Spot on Cameron Kay. I can relate to 90% of Adam's music. This song represents a double edged sword to me (I feel it)---you hunger for human companionship and once you realize your wish you don't know how to handle it and screw everything up (especially with girlfriends).  People think you're a jerk and it hurts you because in reality you are just hurt, confused, and scared. It's a trait almost akin to willful self-destruction. Edgar Allan Poe had it I think...so many others have this willful self-destructive trait too. Thank God for pills!!

    G.... L....

    when you eat nukes you feel triple the woman

  24. D.... V....

    is 2015 almost 2016 and I'm still listening this ... good music :') #GOODOLDDAYS please come back :(

    D.... V....

  30. I.... B....

    fantastic thank you

  31. G.... ....

    He really should've counted more of those crows and not eaten so many!

    G.... ....

    What? They all are in his hair see?

    G.... ....

    GelenosOak He has a serious mental illness that requires him to take medication that can cause people to overeat. Also get back to me when musicians don't have to be great singers, writers, and in peak physical health to be accepted. Ridiculous

  32. d.... k....

    Look ...not Foo Fighter or Joy Division/Smiths stuff but damn good.

    d.... k....

    +declan kelly why compare? counting crows are great in their own sense.

    d.... k....

    Joy Division are boring though..

  33. J.... S....

    que puedo decir.. sencillamente marabillosa cancion..

  34. N.... L....

    It makes me sad that I had to type "she don't want n" in the search box before this came up in the suggestions.

    N.... L....

    OMG I feel exactly the same!!! I saw "she dont wanna be a freak no more" im like so sad. Real music died after the 90s

    N.... L....

    COMPLETELY AGREE. Sigh. We need to be more active fans yall.

    N.... L....

    @SickMike07 This actually came out in '04, but I get what you mean. ;)

  35. b.... ....

    it's such a shame their music sucks now.

    b.... ....

    Have you actually heard Somewhere Under Wonderland? I wasn't a big fan of Underwater Sunshine either, but their new record is fantastic.

    b.... ....

    Would so not agree with you,  they kind of went off kind of , but you have to listen to somewhere under wonderland one of the best album's around for me my two favourite song's are Palisades Park and God Of Ocean Tides love both there songs

    b.... ....

    +Christopher Kelly God of Ocean Tides is amazing. Sounds like it could be off of August and Everything After

    b.... ....

    Don't piss me off friend. Counting Crows never fell off. EVER.

  36. I.... P....

    Beauty hair

  37. M.... R....

    Enough about the hair. So retarded. Just listen to the music.

  38. A.... M....

    Looking forward to @CountingCrowsVEVO #2014 #Album  

  39. C.... W....

    everybody is happy but me

  40. J.... P....

    te sigo desde monterrey  ,paz y 90 ,2000

  41. J.... Z....

    Seriously, I've never seen his hair like that. Even when he is all sweaty in concert.

  42. T.... R....

    Sing this...
    "They'er all drinking Kool-Aid and I don't like the cherry flavor. I suggested that they used grape...but they used red. I don't know if it's fruit punch or cherry flavored or strawberry because I don't like it to begin with...It's been a long December..."

    T.... R....

    Love the Game Grumps reference but the song they were referencing was Round Here haha

  43. Z.... ....

    This song is about Courtney Cox.

    Z.... ....

    @StrongBadSE This song is from around 1998. The Courtney era was Recovering the Satellites (1996). None of the songs on This Desert Life (1999) are known to have been about her but it's not IMPOSSIBLE. Before calling people fools.. I'd like to know your proof that this is about her?

    Z.... ....

    OK --> Give me ONE reason why you think this song is about Courtney Cox, as opposed to any of the other 300 girls he dated by that point. Maybe its about "Elisabeth" or the same girl that "Miami" is about. Just because she's famous doesn't mean she actually gets more lyric time.

    Z.... ....

    or Jennifer Aniston?

    Z.... ....

    Which, pun pretty much intended, Miami is about "my Amy"

    Z.... ....

    She don't want nobody dancing in the dark....

  44. M.... P....

    what a writer

  45. M.... A....

    wtf is wrong wit his hair

  46. T.... T....

    one of the best crow songs. weird how it never caught on

  47. M.... G....

    I just don't get bored of this band!

  48. I.... ....

    Counting Crows are fucking awesome, my 2nd favorite band of all time, never gets old listening to them.

    I.... ....

    Ibl33dGr33n4Life whos you number 1?

  49. T.... ....

    he got fat

  50. J.... W....

    Makes me sad to see 23 comments and only 19,000 views, when so many chart songs get way way more, and stuff like this means so much more to everybody, something is wrong

  51. J.... M....

    Awesome love them <3

  52. S.... T....

    love it

  53. B.... J....

    This fucking guy could sing the phone book and make it fantastic. I am counting crows and it ads up to good music.

    B.... J....

    Right?!

  54. a.... ....

    Absolutely love Adam & CC. Best band ever,

  55. J.... G....

    did counting crows draw inspiration from the cure?

  56. a.... k....

    Sorry i love it

  57. a.... k....

    I lo be it

  58. F.... A....

    The world needs more bands like Counting Crows!

  59. B.... H....

    Actually, I think a Sideshow Bob comment would be less original. He got that a lot, when he had this hairstyle. :)

  60. g.... ....

    Prior to anyone else saying it: That pineapple can sing really well.
    Anyway, most unoriginal comment out of the way.

  61. C.... ....

    Missed you guys

  62. C.... B....

    Awesome song!!!!!

  63. B.... L....

    I wish I could see you guys on tour with The Wallflowers.

  64. T.... K....

  65. s.... ....
