Extreme was a "funk metal" band formed in Boston in 1985-86 consisting of guitar virtuoso Nuno Bettencourt, singer/lyricist Gary Cherone, bassist Pat Badger and drummer Paul Geary (later replaced by drum god Mike Mangini). The band's influences range from the progressive hard rock and elaborate multi-vocals parts of Queen, as well as Beatlesque pop and touches of lounge jazz. Consequently, Extreme's music is never easy to classify; it's not just heavy metal, hard rock, or pop â€”their albums cover all of that territory with a sweeping ambition and a social consciousness to match. Although a hard rock band, it was the Everly Brothers-style acoustic ballad, "More Than Words," that crossed them over into the mainstream â€” it hit number one and the follow-up single, the acoustic-based pop rocker "Hole Hearted," hit number four. They released two albums in the hey day of glam metal but recieved diminished attention from the mainstream following the grungeexplosion following the release of Nirvana's "Nevermind"in 1991.

Leave Me Alone Lyrics

Extreme

As for this song
I'll set the mood
There's nothing wrong
Prefer solitude

Alone to think
Of what I don't know
The deeper I sink
The further I'll go

Nothing to fear
No need to hide
I'm already there
Came in from outside

Safe in my nest
My home sweet home
No invited guests
I just love to be alone

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
(I wish you would leave me alone)
(I wish you would leave me alone)
I just want to be alone

It's better this way
No one will get hurt
If you stay away
I won't lose my shirt

If I've become
Too defensive
I'm not the one
You're livin' with

Leave me alone
(I wish you would leave me alone)
(I wish you would leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
(I wish you would leave me alone)
(I wish you would leave me alone)
I just want to be alone

Leave me alone
(I wish you would leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
(I wish you would leave me alone)
(I wish you would leave me alone)
I just want to be alone
Leave me alone!

I want to be
I want to be
I want to be alone
I want to be
I want to be
I want to be

(SOLO)

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I just want to be alone

Don't feel sorry
It's not your concern
Only the lonely
Are the ones who get burned

Safe in my nest
My home sweet home
No invited guests
I just want
I just want
I just want to be alone!

(I wish you would leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
(I wish you would leave me alone)
(I wish you would leave me alone)
I just want to be alone
