She said, "Tell me what it's all about." I said "Why, why, why?

It's just something you could do without. You better try, try try."

She said, "I can't reach you on the telephone.

I can't call you when you're not at home.

You keep saying that you're all alone.

That's a lie, lie, lie."



CHORUS:

Bad advice had me down and undone. Got to try again to believe in myself.

Look at me, I'm alone in the end. Can you see me falling, falling down.



I said, "Mama can you get it straight?" She said "Why, why, why?"

-"I wanna tell you that it just can't wait, so let's try, try, try"

She said, "I don't care where you might have gone.

I don't care 'cause you've done me wrong.

You been doin' it far too long,

So goodbye, bye, bye."



CHORUS
