Frank Zappa
You Didn’t Try To Call Me
[Chorus]
You didn't try to call me
Why didn't ya try, didn't ya try?
Didn't ya know I was lonely?
No matter who I take home, I keep on calling your name
And you, I need you so bad!
'Cause you're the one, babe!
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me, tell me who's lovin' you now
'Cause it worries my mind and I can't sleep at all
I stayed home on Friday just to wait for your call
[Chorus]
And you didn't try to call me
Why didn't ya try, didn't ya try?
Didn't ya know I was lonely?
No matter who I take home, I keep on calling your name
And you, I need you so bad!
'Cause you're the one, babe!
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me, tell me who's lovin' you now
'Cause it worries my mind and I can't sleep at all
I stayed home on Friday just to wait for your call
[Bridge]
I can't say what's right or what's wrong, but I love you!
All you've gotta is call me babe cuz' I love you!
You make me feel so excited, girl!
I got so hung up on you from the moment that we met
That no matter how I try, I can't keep the tears
From running down my face all alone at my place!
[Chorus]
You didn't try to call me
Why didn't ya try, didn't ya try?
Didn't ya know I was lonely?
Why didn't ya try, didn't ya try
Didn't ya know I was lonely?
[Outro]
I stayed home all afternoon man! I was working on my car!
I fixed the upholstery!
I fixed the seat so it would tilt back
We were going to go to the drive-in
And you didn't call me, man!
I waited, it was Friday night
I remember now, It was nine o'clock and I was sitting out home
I was still watching television and ya didn't try to call me!
We'd been going steady for six weeks
And I thought you were my teenage prill!
I thought you were my teenangel man!
But you didn't call me!
I dig ya so much man, why didn't ya call me?!
If you could have seen me in the afternoon
I was hung up there, I even washed the car!
I, I reprimered the right front fender, man!
We were gonna go, we were gonna go out
And get some root beer afterwards man
And I was gonna show everybody my new carburetor
And ya didn't try to call me!
