| I called this number three
|
| Times already today
|
| But I, I got scared, I put it back in place—
|
| I put my phone back in place
|
| I still don’t know if I
|
| Should have called up
|
| Look, just tell me why don’t you
|
| If I’m out of place
|
| Cause here’s your chance to make me feel awkward
|
| And wish that I
|
| Had never even called up this place
|
| I saw you though today
|
| Walk by with hippie Johnny
|
| I had to call up and say how I want to take his place
|
| So this phone call today concerns
|
| Hippie Johnny
|
| He’s always stoned, he’s never straight
|
| I saw you today, you know, walk by with hippie Johnny
|
| Look, I had to call up and say, I want to take his place
|
| See he’s stoned, hippie Johnny
|
| Now get this, I’m straight
|
| And I wanna take his place
|
| Now look, I like him too, I like
|
| Hippie Johnny
|
| But I’m straight
|
| And I want to take his place
|
| I said, I’m straight
|
| I said, I’m straight
|
| I’m proud to say
|
| Well I’m straight
|
| And I wanna take his place
|
| Now I’ve watched you walk around here
|
| I’ve watched you meet
|
| These new boyfriends, I know
|
| And you tell how they’re deep
|
| Look but, if these guys, if they’re really so great
|
| Tell me, why can’t they at least take this place and take it straight?
|
| Why always stoned, like hippie Johnny is?
|
| I’m straight and I want to take his place
|
| Oh I’m certainly not stoned, like hippie Johnny is
|
| I’m straight and I want to take his place
|
| I said, I’m straight
|
| I said, I’m straight
|
| I’m
|
| I’m straight and I want to take his place
|
| All right you Modern Lovers what do you say?
|
| (I'm straight!)
|
| Tell the world now
|
| (I'm straight!)
|
| That’s it
|
| (I'm straight!)
|
| Yeah I’m straight and I want to take his place |
