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), you're the one, babe



Tell me, tell me who's lovin' ya now

'cause it worries my mind and i can't sleep at all

I stayed home on friday just to wait for your call

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), you're the one, babe



Tell me, tell me who's lovin' ya now

'cause it worries my mind and i can't sleep at all

I stayed home on friday just to wait for your call

I can't say what's right or

What's wrong

But i love you!

All ya gotta do is call me babe

'cause i want 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

I'm all alone at my place



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?

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 on 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, 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 carburettor

And ya didn't try to call me
