Lyrics Last Nite

The song is a reflection on relationships and disillusionments. Written by Julian Casablancas, lead vocalist of The Strokes, it captures the feeling of isolation and the desire to escape.

Last night she said
"Oh, baby, I feel so down
Oh, it turns me off
When I feel left out"
So I, I turned around
Oh, baby, don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking out that door
Well, I've been in town
For just 'bout fifteen minutes now
Oh, baby, I feel so down
And I don't know why
I keep walking for miles

But the people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they can't understand
Your grandsons, they won't understand
On top of this, I ain't ever gonna understand

Last night she said
"Oh, baby, I feel so down
Oh, it turns me off
When I feel left out"
So I, I turned around
Oh, baby, gonna be alright
It was a great big lie
As I left that night, yeah


Oh, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they don't understand
In spaceships, they won't understand
And me, I ain't ever gonna understand

Last night she said
"Oh, baby, I feel so down
Oh, it turns me off
When I feel left out"
So I, I turned around
Oh, little girl, I don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking out that door, yeah
