CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE
(R. Sharpe - P. Wingfield)
ROCKY SHARPE & THE REPLAYS (Chiswick, 1981)

Someone is looking in the window
Someone is knocking at the door
Someone is sneaking 'round the back room
I hear their footsteps on the floor

Someone is jumping on the ceiling
I'm trying so hard to ignore
Sometimes I get the crazy feeling
I just can't stand it anymore

[Chorus]
I can't stand it anymore
I wanna be on my own
I can't stand it anymore
Why don't you leave me alone?

They know just how to turn the heat on
They know just how to kill my mind
It's no use trying to defeat them
I know it's just a waste of time

If I don't hear them in the daytime
I feel their presence in the night
They're all around me when I'm sleeping
I've seen them with my eyes closed tight

[Chorus]

Then I get up and try to find 'em
They disappear into the wall
I know they're out there somewhere hiding
They wanna frighten me, that's all

Th-th-they think I'm scared of my own shadow (boo!)
But my own shadow's not to blame
I don't know what the hell they're doing
But it's from hell I know
It's from hell I know they came

I can't stand it anymore
I wanna be on my own
I can't stand it anymore
I wanna be on my own
I can't stand it anymore
Why don't you leave me?
Why don't you leave me alone?

Hey, hey, hey, hey....

Why don't you leave me alone?
Why don't you leave me alone?
Why don't you leave me alone?
Why don't you leave me alone?

Everywhere I go, they're running out of the walls
Out of the ceiling, they're coming through the floors
Knocking at my door and my windows all the time
Morning, noon and night, I can't get away from them
All the time I hear them, it's all I hear
They send me through the post, they mail me
They write to me, they speak to me on the telephone
They're ringing my doorbell, they're banging on the ceiling

Oh my God, I can't stand it
Huh, huh, huh, ah, aah!
