I Don't Wanna Go Home Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

"Go back home", you damn fool 

Surely you know you can't win 

You should've never have come near this place 

You should have stayed outside 

(Lookin' up) 

It's too late to turn back 

Nobody asked you to try 

But they blinded you with diamonds 

And all the money that money can buy 

And I'm so afraid of being on my own 

But I don't wanna go home 

"You can't win", you damn fool 

You drank all the wine from the cup 

And your painted lady's gone now 

And you're way back on the downside 

(Lookin' up) 

You can't catch the monkey on your back 

Nobody asked you to try 

But for every heart they held a spade 

And you lost more than money can buy 

And I'm so afraid of being on my own 

But I don't wanna go home 

I'm like a washed up rag, tattered and torn, yeah 

I wish I'd never been born 

And I'm so afraid of being on my own 

But I don't wanna go home 

I'm like a down and out just blowin' my horn 

Oh, I don't wanna go home 

I'm like a washed up rag, tattered and torn 

Oh, I don't wanna go home, yeah
