Lyrics for I Can't Do It Alone as interpreted by kmk_natasha

I Can't Do It Alone Lyrics
Oh God, God, she's really done it now,
Coked up, her body's all spun around,
Oh yeah, yeah, she's really done it,
And seein' her just isn't something I can stomach,

Back it up, back it up,
If you talkin' shit to me,
Smack it up, smack it up,
If you act a bitch to me,
Stack it up, stack it up,
If you fuckin' rich as me,
My daddy owns a dealership,
The rest is fuckin' history

This ain't a love song (oh no),
This ain't a broken heart homie singin' only 'cause he's lonely,
This ain't a love song (oh, no, no, no),
This ain't a whiskey-drowned ballad,
There ain't nothing here that's valid,
So tell me baby, pretty baby, that this house is not a graveyard,
Tell me how to stay strong and carry you home,
Over corpses of her long-lost fathers and her unborn daughters,
God dammit, I just can't do it alone
I can't do it alone,
I can't do it alone,
No, I can't do it alone

Oh no, no, I'm not impressed with you,
Pink drinks that seem to get the best of you,
Rock late and sleep until the sun sets,
I'd talk but you took the tongue I talk with

Back it up, back it up,
If you talkin' shit to me,
Smack it up, smack it up,
If you act a bitch to me,
Stack it up, stack it up,
If you fuckin' rich as me,
My daddy owns a dealership,
The rest is fuckin' history

This ain't a love song (oh no),
This ain't a broken heart homie singin' only 'cause he's lonely,
This ain't a love song (oh, no, no, no),
This ain't a whiskey-drowned ballad,
There ain't nothing here that's valid,
So tell me baby, pretty baby, that this house is not a graveyard,
Tell me how to stay strong and carry you home,
Over corpses of her long-lost fathers and her unborn daughters,
God dammit, I just can't do it alone
I can't do it alone,
I can't do it alone,
No, I can't do it alone

I can call you out and complain the rain is worse,
But it's that much better if I blame it on a person,
I can call you out and complain the rain is worse,
But it's that much better if I blame it on a person

So tell me baby, pretty baby, that this house is not a graveyard,
Tell me how to stay strong and carry you home,
Over corpses of her long-lost fathers and her unborn daughters,
God dammit, I just can't do it alone
So tell me baby, pretty baby, that this house is not a graveyard,
Tell me how to stay strong and carry you home,
Over corpses of her long-lost fathers and her unborn daughters,
God dammit, I just can't do it alone

I think this song is about how he's not happy with the way this relationship is going, and he's asking her to tell him that the relationship isn't over yet. "So tell me, pretty baby, that this house is not a graveyard." He doesn't want to be the only one who's trying to make it work, hence, "I can't do it alone."

FAVORITE SONG OFF THE ALBUM!

this is one of those "im in a bad relationship" songs, but instead of being sad and heartbroken, it had a upbeat "holy shit what do i do" feel, reflecting the true feel of a failing relationship. I hate those songs where it sounds like the singer is moaning; stop moaning and make it work!

nonetheless, a great song

It sounds like abortion and/or miscarriage. Possibly due to drinking alcohol on the girls part. This could be due to the fact that she hasn't gotten past the emotional scarring of her daddy taking off when she was a kid. It could be what happens to love after the respect is gone.

i agree with the abortion part. he's angry at her for having an abortion without his consent. Now he is furious and wants to get rid of her any way he can.

To me, it sounds like he gets dumped in the first verse.
'Oh god, Oh god, she's really done it now' - He knew the relationship was ending already.
'Coked up, her body's all spun around' She's walking away, and she's crazy for it.
'And seeing her just isn't something I can stomach' -He's hating her for what she did, and can't stand to see her.
Pre Chorus - Him telling himself that he won't put up with all the shit she put him through
'This ain't a love song...' He's serious, he doesn't want her back, he's not just hung up about being dumped.
'So tell me baby, pretty baby, that this house is not a graveyard' - 'So Tell me that our love isn't dead. I don't believe you.'
'Tell me how to stay strong and carry you home,' - 'Tell me how I can forgive you'
'Over corpses of her long-lost fathers and her unborn daughters' - The life they could have had. Which she killed.
'God dammit, I just can't do it alone' - pretty obvious.
Second Verse - Him trying to tell himself he's better off, she was just a whore anyways.
Third Verse - Him telling himself, that he did nothing wrong, because it's easier to blame her.

Wow, that dragged on, and it's only a guess.
