You can talk a blue streak baby
And make the words sound so right
Still, I wonder, did you call me

Just to keep me up all night?

Why do you call?

Why do you call?
You kept me hangin' long enough
Now you just hang me up


I told you how it had to be
If we were going to get along

But you were too half-hearted baby
To make our love strong


Like a blast from the past
Your voice, it gives me the shakes
But like a ghost, you keep showin' up

For appearance's sake

Why do you call?

Why do you call?
You kept me hangin' long enough
Now you just hang me up


We could have had it good
But you wouldn't make up your mind

I know love is give-and-take,
But all you took was your time


(instrumental)

We could have had it good

But you wouldn't make up your mind
I know love is give-and-take,
But all you took was your time


Well, you paint a pretty picture baby
But all I'm drawing is a blank

Mixed signals are confusing
Mixed drinks? No thanks!


Why do you call?
Why do you call?
You kept me hangin' long enough

Now you just hang me up

Why do you call?

Why do you call?
You kept me hangin' long enough
Now you just hang me up
