The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can talk a blue streak baby
And make the words sound so right
Still, I wonder, did you call me
Just to keep me up all night?
Why do you call?
Why do you call?
You kept me hangin' long enough
Now you just hang me up
I told you how it had to be
If we were going to get along
But you were too half-hearted baby
To make our love strong
Like a blast from the past
Your voice, it gives me the shakes
But like a ghost, you keep showin' up
For appearance's sake
Why do you call?
Why do you call?
You kept me hangin' long enough
Now you just hang me up
We could have had it good
But you wouldn't make up your mind
I know love is give-and-take,
But all you took was your time
(instrumental)
We could have had it good
But you wouldn't make up your mind
I know love is give-and-take,
But all you took was your time
Well, you paint a pretty picture baby
But all I'm drawing is a blank
Mixed signals are confusing
Mixed drinks? No thanks!
Why do you call?
Why do you call?
You kept me hangin' long enough
Now you just hang me up
Why do you call?
Why do you call?
You kept me hangin' long enough
Now you just hang me up
