Since she’s been gone
I want no one
To talk to me
It’s not the same
But I’m to blame
It’s plain to see
So go away and leave me alone
Don’t bother me
I can’t believe
That she would leave
Me on my own
It’s just not right
Where every night
I’m all alone
I’ve got no time for you right now
Don’t bother me
I know I’ll never be the same
If I don’t get her back again
Because I know she’ll always be
The only girl for me
But till she’s here
Please don’t come near
just stay away
I’ll let you know
When she’s come home
Until that day
Don’t come around leave me alone
Don’t bother me
I’ve got no time for you right now
Don’t bother me
I know I’ll never be the same
If I don’t get her back again
Because I know she’ll always be
The only girl for me
But till she’s here
Please don’t come near
Just stay away
I’ll let you know
When she’s come home
Until that day
Don’t come around leave me alone
Don’t bother me
Don’t bother me
Don’t bother me
Exploring the Shadows of Heartbreak
“Don’t Bother Me” by The Beatles delves into the raw feelings of solitude and frustration following a breakup. The lyrics capture an emotional state where the narrator, reeling from the absence of a loved one, seeks isolation rather than comfort from friends. The repeated plea to “leave me alone” echoes a desire to process grief privately, highlighting the pain and vulnerability that come with heartache. The song’s directness and repetitive phrasing underscore the depth of the narrator’s longing, as well as the hope that things may change if love is restored.
