Everybody But Me
Lykke Li
Youth Novels (2008)

Uh,
I stand here in the the corner, thinking over one two, what am I to do?
Should I go home, still sober
Or should I buy me another glass of wine and forget about time?
But my jeans are too tight, don't feel like dancin'
No this light is too bright, don't feel like shining
No this room is too small,
rather stand against the wall and hope that no one sees me
Eh eh eh eh

And everybody's dancing, I don't want to
And everybody's toying, I don't want to
And everybody's laughing, I don't want to

Everybody but me

And everybody's drinking, I don't want to
And everybody's using, I don't need none
And everybody's floating, I don't want to

Everybody but me

I get the creeps from all the people in here
I cannot breathe, it's too crowded in here,
don't look at me. I don't want to be seen,
touched, heard, bothered
by the fellas, who got the look in their eye,
they want to take me home, without knowing my name,
they want to put it on but do they not know
that I'm not like the others?

And everybody's dancing, I don't want to
And everybody's toying, I don't want to
And everybody's laughing, I don't want to

Everybody but me

And everybody's drinking, I don't want to
And everybody's using, I don't need none
And everybody's floating, I don't want to

Everybody but me
