Can't Walk You Home Lyrics

You're a rich girl we all know
Daddy runs an airline,
Mummy's eye is on the dough
And the butlers' on the bread-line

You're so bright you glide through school
Brains run in the family
You've been taught the "how do you do"
And all your men are manly

I'm just a boy, not what you're used to
That is why I can't walk you home
That is why I can't walk you home
That is why I can't walk you home

That is why (Why) I can't walk you home
I don't want to run you down
I don't mind the money
But last time when you asked me round

You said I was funny
Pulling strings and pony tails
Just to get to know me
The only time you'll ever fail

Is when you try to own me
I'm not a toy, I'm no use to you
That is why I can't walk you home
That is why I can't walk you home

That is why I can't walk you home
That is why (Why) I can't walk you home

I'm just a boy not what you're used to
That is why I can't walk you home
That is why I can't walk you home
That is why I can't walk you home
That is why (Why) I can't walk you home

Lessons In Love

You're a rich girl we all know
Daddy runs an airline,
Mummy's eye is on the dough
And the butlers' on the bread-line

You're so bright you glide through school
Brains run in the family
You've been taught the "how do you do"
And all your men are manly

I'm just a boy, not what you're used to
That is why I can't walk you home
That is why I can't walk you home
That is why I can't walk you home

That is why (Why) I can't walk you home
I don't want to run you down 
I don't mind the money
But last time when you asked me round

You said I was funny
Pulling strings and pony tails 
Just to get to know me
The only time you'll ever fail

Is when you try to own me
I'm not a toy, I'm no use to you
That is why I can't walk you home
That is why I can't walk you home

That is why I can't walk you home
That is why (Why) I can't walk you home

I'm just a boy not what you're used to
That is why I can't walk you home
That is why I can't walk you home
That is why I can't walk you home
That is why (Why) I can't walk you home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
