"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
