You call me and it's late at night
You want to know where I have been
I tell you that I'll call you later

But you call me back again

The second, third, fourth time you call

I pull the chord out of the wall
And just when I begin to sleep
My damn beeper begins to beep


Sorry dear but I'm not home
So speak your mind after the tone

Heaven knows where I just went
But if I don't call you back just take the hint


I wake up and you're at my door
I close the shades, you knock once more
I found the note you left on my car

I go to work and there you are

You called my mother and friends

To ask if they've seen me and when
I think that this has gone too far
I turn around and there you are


Sorry dear but I'm not home
So speak your mind after the tone

Heaven knows where I just went
But if I don't call you back just take the hint


Sorry dear but I'm not home
Please just leave me the hell alone
Sorry dear but I'm not home

Why won't you leave me the hell alone?

Last night I had the strangest dream

And when I woke 'twas with a scream
I dreamt I died and went to hell
And there you were alive and well


Sorry dear but I'm not home
So speak your mind after the tone

Heaven knows where I just went
But if I don't call you back just take the hint


Sorry dear but I'm not home
Please just leave me the hell alone
Sorry dear but I'm not home

Why won't you leave me the hell alone?

But you're still here after the tone

You're still here after the tone
You're still here
