This was not really meant to be
but some things in the night were frightening me
I hid behind a tree, hoped the things would go away

My friends got worried, they were waiting for me
because we had to leave now, EMERGENCY
I was still behind the tree
and they just couldn't stay
I'm all alone, E.T. phone home
now I'm on my own, E.T. phone home

Please, I don't want to stay
don't leave me here, take me away
let me make one more call
I saw my ship lift from the ground
I heard shouting voices all around
so I didn't make a sound
and the things went away

So here I am and I don't know what to do
should I try to contact someone like you?
I'm all alone, E.T. phone home
now I'm on my own, E.T. phone home

Please, I don't want to stay
don't leave me here, take me away
let me make one more call
