Wanna Go Home
Yearning for Home: Janet Mona's Tale of Escaping Uncomfortable Nights
Lyrics
I tried to tell them that I didn't want to come here
I expressed my reluctance to come here
I tried to tell them let me go
I insisted on being allowed to leave
I gave in just so I could look a little cooler
I yielded to peer pressure to appear more fashionable
And ain't nobody wanna know
No one is interested in understanding my true feelings
What's really going on in my mind
My inner thoughts are hidden from others
I'm sitting down on the couch with this guy
I'm uncomfortable in a social setting, sitting with someone
I keep on sipping cuz I'm feeling uncomfortable
I continue drinking to cope with discomfort
I'm sitting here and he just keeps on trying to touch my body
Someone is persistently trying to touch me
And if I'm gone enough I'll let him make me feel like somebody
Considering leaving my senses to feel valued
Tell me when this television program turns off
Waiting for the TV show to end to leave
I'll be the first one out the door cuz my night's been pretty rough
My night has been difficult, eager to leave
And I don't mean to be obscene or make a scene
Not intending to be vulgar or attract attention
But I just wanna go home
Expressing the desire to go home
Yeah I just wanna go home
Reiterating the longing to go home
I'm stumbling through a parking lot and then she grabs me
Walking through a parking lot, approached by someone
She says "hey baby, sing a song"
Encouraged to sing a song by the person
And I can feel it in my soul and in my body
Feeling the music deeply in soul and body
So I decide to play along
Deciding to participate in the interaction
She says that I'm the girl of her dreams
Being told I'm someone's dream but experiencing a different reality
But when she's sober she's so mean
Noticing the person's contrasting behavior when sober
I keep on sipping cuz I'm feeling uncomfortable
Continuing to drink to manage discomfort
We're standing there and she has got both arms around my body
Being embraced by the person with both arms
I'm wondering what it is to get this girl to really love me
Wondering how to earn genuine love from this person
Tell me when this television program turns off
Waiting for the TV program to end for a chance to leave
I'll be the first one out the door cuz my night's been pretty rough
Desiring to leave as the night has been challenging
And I don't mean to be obscene or make a scene
Reiterating the lack of intention to be vulgar or attract attention
But I just wanna go home
Expressing the desire to go home again
Yeah I just wanna go home
Reiterating the strong longing to go home
Cuz I just wanna go home
Stressing the earnest desire to go home
I just wanna go home
Emphasizing the straightforward wish to go home
And I don't mean to be obscene or make a scene
Reiterating the lack of intention to be vulgar or attract attention
And I don't mean to be obscene
Again stating the lack of intention to be vulgar
I don't mean to be obscene
Repeating the lack of intention to be vulgar
And I don't mean to be obscene or make a scene
Reiterating the lack of intention to be vulgar or attract attention
But I just wanna go home
Expressing the desire to go home once more
Yeah I just wanna go home
Stressing the strong longing to go home again
I hope my friends don't hate me
Concerned about potential negative reactions from friends
For wanting to ditch this party
Feeling the urge to leave the party
But I just wanna go home
Reiterating the strong desire to go home
Yeah I just wanna go home
Emphasizing the straightforward wish to go home
But I just wanna go home
Reiterating the desire to go home
I just wanna go home
Emphasizing the straightforward wish to go home once more
