I'm not going to go out tonight, no
I was not invited
I just overheard you talking about it, oh
It's not like I care a lot
Because who needs to spend a lot of time
With their friends, with their friends
I'll just wait outside for my ride
Because I hate parties, oh I hate parties
I'm not gonna end up a nervous wreck
Like the people I know who are nervous wrecks
No, I'm not gonna name names
I'm not gonna end up with a broken back
Because the author who writes me is a talentless hack
Oh, don't let this wicked city get you down
I'm wide-eyed a lot of the time
I can't seem to shut off my mind
Are you trying to hook me up with this girl
Just so you can get me off your back?
I just had to get out of the house
It was suffocating me, suffocating me
But I can see you're busy
I'll talk to you some other time
I'm not gonna end up a nervous wreck
Like the people I know who are nervous wrecks
No, I'm not gonna name names
I'm not gonna end up with a broken back
Because the author who writes me is a talentless hack
Oh, don't let this wicked city get you down
♪
It's really dark outside and it's really cold outside
But nobody's coming so, I guess I better start walking
I'm not gonna end up a nervous wreck
Like the people I know who are nervous wrecks
No, I'm not gonna name names
I'm not gonna end up with a broken back
Because the author who writes me is a talentless hack
Oh, don't let this wicked city get you down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Don't let it get you down, down, down
Don't let it get you down, down, down
Don't let it get you down, down, down
Don't let it get you down, down, down
Don't let it get you down
