Well you call again   As if I don’t know what you're going to say   So let it ring   I can count the cracks in the ceiling all day long   I guess the birds they just went south   But I’ve got no where to go   It’s 31 and falling   I’ve been dreaming of you darling   In case you’d like to know      God damn my wasted time   Ringing all the bells      If I could hold my tongue   Just long enough to get me through the door   Then you won’t know   Rewind the tape while your back is turned   Fold my arms and pull the curtains closed   Bury the roses in the backyard   And darlin’ never mind   What I might have said before, before      God damn my wasted time   Ringing all the bells      I’ve got half a mind to lie to you   Half a mind to tell you   Everything I have to tell, to tell, to tell   I’ve been wasting my time I know I know better   And I’m tired of waxing sentimental   I’m tired of saying please, please   Tired of waiting, I’m tired of waiting      You call again   As if I don’t know what you’re going to say
