It`s  one thirty in the morning  and that`s alright  by me
Weren`t  you waiting  by the phone?
I  should give a little warning
 But I need  the things I need
I`m  not proud to need a hand, but  I just don’t understand
So  why should you come  when I call?
 I never  say nothing at all
Why  do I go  when I go?
It`s  leaving me here all alone
 You ought  to get out on your  own
 Ain't necessarily a bad thing
 To believe the things I say
 Cause you can make yourself feel good
 You know it's really not a good thing
 To give everything to me
 I'm just waiting for the show
 Cause I got no where to go
So  why should you come  when I call?
 I never  say nothing at all
Why  do I go  when I go?
It`s  leaving me here all alone
 You ought  to get out on your  own
 Cause nothing makes  me feel so good
 Gets me high
 So I sleep  at night
 And lets  me know that everythings alright
 I feel nice
 I'm so sorry in the morning
 Could believe what you believe
 I'm used to waking up alone
 And if you think about it
 Anyone you think about is better love than me
 But if you've not  fallen quite
 asleep I  might call tonight
 If that's alright...
So  why should you come  when I call?
 I never  say nothing at all
Why  do I go  when I go?
It`s  leaving me here all alone
 You ought  to get out on your  own
