"You Didn't Try To Call Me" lyrics

Frank Zappa (The Mothers Of Invention) Lyrics

"You Didn't Try To Call Me"

You didn't try to call me
Why didn't you try, didn't you try
Didn't you know I was lonely?
No matter who I take home
I keep on calling your name
And you
I need you so bad
You're the one, babe

Tell me, tell me
Who's loving you now
'Cause it worries my mind
And I can't sleep at all
I stayed home on Friday
Just to wait for your call

And you didn't try to call me
Why didn't you try, didn't you try
Didn't you know I was lonely?
No matter who I take home
I keep on calling your name
And you
I need you so bad
You're the one, babe

Tell me, tell me
Who's loving you now
'Cause it worries my mind
And I can't sleep at all
I stayed home on Friday
Just to wait for your call

I can't say what's right or what's wrong
But I love you
All you gotta do is call me, babe
'Cause I want you

You make me feel so excited, girl
I've got so hung up on you
From the moment that we met
That no matter how I try
I can't keep the tears
From running down my face
I'm all alone at my place

You didn't try to call me
Why didn't you try, didn't you try
Didn't you know I was lonely?
(Baby...)
Why didn't you try, didn't you try
(I say, please!)
Didn't you know I was lonely?
I stayed home all afternoon, man
I was working on my car
I fixed the upholstery
I fixed the seat so it would tilt back
We were going to go to the drive-in
And you didn't call me, man
I waited, it was Friday night
I remember, man, it was nine o'clock
And I was sitting on home
I was still watching television
And you didn't try to call me
We'd been going steady for six weeks
And I thought you were my teen-age thrill
I thought you were my teen angel, man, but you didn't call me
I dig you so much, man, why didn't you call me
If you could have seen me in the afternoon
I was hung up, I even washed the car
I, I reprimered the right front fender, man
We were gonna go, we were gonna go out and get some root beer afterwards, man
(Baby!)
And I was gonna show everybody my new carburetor
(Baby!)
And you didn't try to call me
(Girl!)
