Can I Call You

(Album: Falling In Love Again - 1979)

If I'm sitting home alone
And I find my telephone
Can I call you?
If I spoke to you before
But I need to tell some more
Can I call again?

A telephone just ain't enough
When this lonely night gets just too tough
To take
Can I come on your door knocking
When we're done through talking
Can I call you?

'Cause I need love so badly
To ever see me through
That's why I keep reaching out for you

If my money's running low
And I need a place to go
Can I call you?
If I got a fresh supply
Of some wine to get us high
Should I call you up?

If I dread you should discover
That I tried another lover
Just to see how good you are, baby
When you're all done screaming, shouting
I'ma throwing things and pouting
Can I call you?

'Cause I need you so near me
I can't let you go
So don't ever tell me, tell me "no"

'Cause I need love so badly
To ever see me through
That's why I keep reaching out for you
