Calling out to Carol  She could really twist the screws  What cha doin' Monday  And are you back on the booze?  now I been doin' some thinkin'  'Bout Colorado Springs  A dirty deim jacket, and a seven dollar ring  Well I've been keeping busy  I've got lots of pots boiling on the stove  Who's that in the background?  I'm sorry that I asked  I guess I should have known  CHORUS  Calling out to Carol on a telephone call  Message on a wire comin' through a wall  Talk about old times but not too long ago  Carol was the girl that everybody got to know  When'd you change your number?  Hey, Carol! It's different than you had  Have you got protection?  I know some police are bad  But that's not why I called you up now  You know, I quit the scene  I told ya 'bout your pictures  I guess I'll buy that magazine  And I still remember all those days we spent alone  You went one way while I went the other  Sometims I guess that's the way things go  CHORUS  Calling out to Carol gets a busy tone  Sees a lot of people but she lives alone  Pick up the receiver, love will come and go  'Cause Carol was a girl that everybody got to know  When they called me in the morning  And told me that she'd gone  i didn't want to hear it  So I just hung up the phone  Calling out to Carol on a telephone call  Message on a wire comin' through a wall  Is this line in service?  Operator says no  But Carol was a girl that everybody got to know  ---------------------------------------------------------
