You Should Do The Calling

(album: This Time The Hurtin's On Me - 1973)

You repair to her as just the other woman
And to you there's only one thing I should do
I could simply call and tell her I won't see her anymore
And I know you feel I owe that much to you

You should do the calling ask her why she wanted me
Wouldn't you love to know what will her answer be
Maybe she found something good in me you couldn't see for looking
Ask her what she ever saw in me

Tell her all about these four walls that surround you
Tell her all the big important things you've missed
Tell her wedding rings little things like children
Ask her why she'd ever envy things like these

You should do the calling ask her why she wanted me
Wouldn't you love to know what will her answer be
Maybe she found something good in me you couldn't see for looking
Ask her what she ever saw in me
Yes, you should do the calling not me
