| Not for nothing at all,
|
| Not for nothing did I call,
|
| Reason is: you’re often appalled.
|
| Hold on now John, you never seemed cold!
|
| I thought you were in love,
|
| Then I guess that you’re not,
|
| Ah, but then the first thing you wrote
|
| Was: Hold on now John,
|
| Hold on now John,
|
| Hold on now John.
|
| And now you don’t answer when I call,
|
| You don’t answer then.
|
| You don’t answer when I call,
|
| Leave yourself alone,
|
| Leave yourself alone.
|
| Cabbages and kings in your dreams,
|
| These are your dreams.
|
| Maybe they’re not quite what they seem.
|
| Hold on now John,
|
| The blame is undone.
|
| Wash up the air,
|
| Don’t drive that car,
|
| Never learn to play the guitar,
|
| And leave yourself alone,
|
| Leave yourself alone,
|
| Leave yourself alone,
|
| And leave yourself alone.
|
| You don’t answer when I call,
|
| You don’t answer then.
|
| You don’t answer when I call,
|
| Leave yourself alone,
|
| Leave yourself alone.
|
| You don’t answer when I call,
|
| You don’t answer then.
|
| You don’t answer when I call,
|
| Leave yourself alone,
|
| Leave yourself alone.
|
| Sweeping up the ashes of rock,
|
| Sweeping up the ashes of roll,
|
| Years begin to take up their toll.
|
| Though not for some
|
| You’ve never seemed cold.
|
| You don’t answer when I call,
|
| You don’t answer then.
|
| You don’t answer when I call,
|
| Hold on now John,
|
| Hold on now John.
|
| You don’t answer when I call,
|
| You don’t answer then.
|
| You don’t answer when I call,
|
| Leave yourself alone,
|
| Leave yourself alone. |
