 Oh why  don't you call  when you say  you will my dear
Is  it because I don't  belong to you
 And why  don't you come  when you say  you will my dear
Do  you really think  it will work out wrong
 What if I leave?  What if I leave?
 What if I leave?  What if I leave?
Why  don't you call? Don't  you miss me at all?
Left  a long, long time  ago to where the weather  was better for his  kind
Why  won't you play  with a girl  who loves your face?
I  may be a fool  all along but I never  understood  these rules
 So I grow up longing for another
 With the windy city left behind to my lover
 Will you ever know  the way I cry
 You were gone  that day, so you may  have missed my goodbye
 Sometimes in my dreams  I hear you say
 "If you really care  you won't go away"
