Call me baby
Make sure I'm home
I did not hear that call last night
I didn’t hear that call you might have made
Everytime you go away, I think you’ve gone away to stay
And I sit down
And I commit myself to a deepest despair
Everytime you move around, I think about moving
Running away, making running repairs
Everytime you run around, I think about another time
I think about moving
But then again just where
Everytime I go away, I think you’ve gone away to stay
I think about it, and I cry baby, cry baby, I cry baby
Because if you don’t call me, then I can’t call you
If you don’t call me, then I can’t call you, don’t know the number
If you don’t call me, then I can’t call you
If you don’t call me, tell me, what can I do
'Cause if you took a little time to think
You’d know, I know you’d know
I will always be there by your right hand
And if you took a little time to think about it
You’d know
That I will always be there, will always try to understand
Don’t call me, can’t call you
If you don’t call me, I can’t call you, I haven’t got the number
Call me baby, or I can’t call you
Tell me love of my life, what can I do
Everytime you go away, I feel you’ve gone away to stay
I sit on down and feel so scared baby, scared baby, scared baby
Everytime you run around, I think about another town
I think about moving, making some running repairs
But if you don’t call me, then I can’t call you
If you don’t call me, what am I going to do, darling
If you don’t call me, I can’t call you, don’t have the number
You know that I can’t call
Any time you care to call my name, I will be waiting
Any time you care to call my name, I’ll be there, baby
Baby baby, when you call I might be sitting by the phone
I might be on the bedside
Any time you care to make a call, make sure I'm in
Make sure I'm home, make sure I'm home
Any time you care to use that telephone ring
Let that telephone ring, let it ring down
Let it ring down, like bells from heaven
Let that telephone ring, let it make that call
Let that telephone ring, make sure I'm at home
Make sure I'm home when that telephone rings
'Cause if you don’t call, I’ll do the same to you, baby as you do to me
I won’t call you, you won’t know my number
I’ve had enough of this, darling don’t call or I won’t call you
