I call your name in the midnight
But you don't hear me at all
I love you so dearly and nearly
But you don't love me at all
There's nothin in this big round world that's worse
Hu--ur---ur---rts
Than payin out 'n receivin nothin in return
Every day and night I dial your number
But you never answer the phone
Are you really not there when I call you?
What gives you so much chance to roam?
If I only knew how to get you
Well I tried all I know and failed except for lovin you so
I sought you out and found out your name first
But my name you never seem to have called
How in this world can I date you
When you won't give me a call?
Oh no---oh---oh
Payin out 'n receivin nothin in return
some notes:
