Every time i call you on the phone
They tell me that you're not at home
But last night when i called you

Before i said hello

I could hear you (hear you)

Saying in the background
(saying in the background)
Oh, yeah (tell him i'm not home)

You're never home

If, by chance, you found somebody new

And you don't know what to say or do
I'd feel better when i called you
If you asked me not to phone


Instead of saying (hear you)
Saying in the background

(saying in the background)
Oh, yeah (tell him i'm not home)


(not home) not home
(not home) not home (not home)


Don't't lie, don't lie
Baby, don't lie
If you don't want to talk to me, baby

Please tell me why

The next time i call you on the phone

Don't let them tell me
That you're not at home
I'd feel better if you told me

That i am on my own

Instead of saying (hear you)

Saying in the background
(saying in the background)
Oh, yeah (tell him i'm not home)


(not home) not home
(not home) not home

(not home) not home (not home)

Every time i call you, baby

Somebody tells me that you're not home
And i getting sick and tired
Of the way you...
