Perry Farrell
No One’s Leaving
[Verse 1]
Ooh, I'm a white dread, I'm a white dread, so?
I'm a got a ring and I hang it from my nose
Got a little game, I take it to the park
I don't care who plays, as long as the game is on
[Pre-Chorus]
My sister and her boyfriend slept in the park
Had to leave home because he was dark
Now they parade around in New York
With a baby boy, he's gorgeous!
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody leavin'
Let's go!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No one is leavin'
[Verse 2]
Blacks call each other brother and sis'
Count me in because I been missed
I've seen color changed by a kiss
Go ask my brother and my sister
[Pre-Chorus]
My sister and her boyfriend slept in the park
Had to leave home because he was dark
Now they parade around in New York
With a baby boy, he's gorgeous!
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody leaving!
And why?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No one is leavin'
[Guitar Solo]
[Post-Chorus]
No is leavin'
[Bridge]
Yeah, that's right
Yeah, that's so, go!
[Outro]
I wish I knew everyone's nickname
All their slang and all their sayings
Every way to show affection
How to dress to fit the occasion
And I wish we all waved, all waved
All waved
I wish we all! Wish we all!
Wish we all waved
