I Don't Even Try |
I thought I had your number |
There must be some mistake |
I dialled 6 — 3 — 7 — 11 — 88 |
I got some geezer |
Said his girlfriend’s on the town |
I said, «I've got the wrong number,» |
And I slammed the phone down |
Thought about it for a minute 'til the anger went away |
I figure every dog in town is gonna have his day |
Well, I could count the teardrops, or I could wonder why |
Well I used to be your lover |
Now I don’t even try |
It was champagne parties and sweet love sins |
Now it’s warm beer at midnight and girlie magazines |
I stack the empty cans up like a freshman in school |
It’s the kind of thing you’re into when you ain’t nobody’s fool |
Got my socks in the oven, something’s growing in the sink |
I can’t begin to face the day without a couple of drinks |
Ain’t had a decent meal since you made me cry |
Well I used to be your lover |
Now I don’t even try |
Memories |
Take a look at what you’ve done to me |
It’s gettin' so all I do is watch TV |
Can’t even prove that I’m alive |
Well, I thought I had your number |
There must be some mistake |
I dialled 6−3-7−1-1−8-8 |
I got some geezer |
Said his girlfriend’s on the town |
I said, «I've got the wrong number,» |
And then I slammed the phone down |
But I know the number’s right and you’re his girl |
Though I wouldn’t want to face it for the whole wide world |
Don’t come back baby, I think I’m gonna die |
Well I used to be your lover |
Now I don’t even try |
I used to be your lover |
Now I don’t even try |
Used to be your lover |
Used to be your lover |
Used to be your lover, Baby |
Hey yeah |
