JOHN HIATT lyrics : "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 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
