Lyrics
Thanks but no thanks
Rejecting an offer or invitation politely
I'm already in for the night
Already committed to staying at home for the night
It's been a long day
Expressing a tiring or exhausting day
Tomorrow I'm getting up early
Plan to wake up early the next day
I can't come over right now
Unable to come over presently
'Cause girl, I know what you're all about
Aware of the intentions or behavior of the person making the request
'Cause you're only calling 'cause the
Implying the caller has ulterior motives due to alcohol
Whisky is working tonight
Implying insincerity in expressing feelings due to alcohol
And if you're only saying you miss me
Suggesting the caller's claim of missing is insincere
But you don't girl, it ain't right
Expressing that insincere actions are not morally right
I'm just a number you called
Feeling like just a contact on the caller's list
And I know you don't really want it
Understanding the caller's lack of genuine desire
Thanks but no thanks
Politely declining the offer again
Baby, I'd rather be lonely
Preferably choosing solitude over insincere company
Thanks but no thanks
Repeating the rejection
We're better off in the past
Belief that it's better to remain separate from the caller
Oh, there's nothing to say but sorry
Nothing more to be said except acknowledging apologies
And you already said it
Caller already expressed apologies earlier
Baby, I'm letting you go
Deciding to release the caller emotionally
And I hope you find someone to hold
Wishing the caller finds someone else
'Cause you're only calling 'cause the
Reiteration of the caller's potential motive due to alcohol
Whisky is working tonight
Repeating that insincere emotions are heightened due to alcohol
And if you're only saying you miss me
Caller possibly insincerely expressing missing the person
But you don't girl, it ain't right
Moral assertion about insincere emotions
I'm just a number you called
Feeling like a disposable contact for the caller
And I know you don't really want it
Recognizing the caller's lack of genuine intent
Thanks but no thanks
Politely declining the offer again
Baby, I'd rather be lonely
Preferably choosing solitude over insincere company, repeating the sentiment
'Cause you're only calling 'cause the
Reiteration of the caller's potential motive due to alcohol
Whisky is working tonight
Repeating that insincere emotions are heightened due to alcohol
And if you're only saying you miss me
Caller possibly insincerely expressing missing the person
But you don't girl, it ain't right
Moral assertion about insincere emotions
I'm just a number you called
Feeling like a disposable contact for the caller
And I know you don't really want it
Recognizing the caller's lack of genuine intent
Thanks but no thanks
Politely declining the offer again
Baby, I'd rather be lonely
Preferably choosing solitude over insincere company
Thanks but no thanks
Politely declining the offer again
Baby, I'd rather be lonely
Preferably choosing solitude over insincere company
Thanks but no thanks
Reiterating the decision to stay in for the night
I'm staying in for tonight
Firmly stating the decision to remain at home
