Why Do You Call?

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
