Everybody But Me Lyrics

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

When everybody's dancing, I don't want to
When everybody's joking, I don't want to
When everybody's laughing, I don't want to

Everybody but me

When everybody's drinking, I don't want to
When everybody's smoking, I don't need more
When 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?

When everybody's dancing, I don't want to
When everybody's joking, I don't want to
When everybody's laughing, I don't want to

Everybody but me

When everybody's drinking, I don't want to
When everybody's smoking, I don't need more
When everybody's floating, I don't want to

Everybody but me

Lykke Li (born Li Lykke Timotej Svensson Zachrisson on 18 March 1986 in Ystad, Sweden) is a Swedish singer-songwriter. Her music often blends elements of pop, indie rock and electronic; various instruments can also be found in her songs, including violins, synthesizers, tambourines, trumpets, saxophones and cellos. Li possesses the vocal range of a soprano.

Li had her first success with the EP "Little Bit" in 2007. She later released her debut album, Youth Novels, on LL Recordings in the Nordic region on 30 January 2008, prior to a wider European release in June of the same year. The album was produced by Björn Yttling (of Peter Bjorn and John) and Lasse Mårtén. It was released in the United States on 19 August 2008.

On 1 March 2011, she released her sophomore effort Wounded Rhymes on her own label LL Recordings.
