You Call Me

You call me wasted You call me a sad sack of bones You call me anytime you want to Even call me to tell me to thank you for calling You call me reckless You call me the emperor of mine You call me anything you want to And then you beg me not to leave you alone Call me up when you see me right Call me up when you see the light Call me up and let me hear your cries Call me back when you finally realize We can't turn the clock back But we can wind it up again You call me impossible You call me an acquaintance, not your mate Sometimes you really get mad and then You call me your favorite thing to hate Wake me up in the middle of the night just to tell me you'll be late You can't see what you're trying to hide You can't lick your wounds, scars are deep inside You can't talk sweet talk when you can't think straight Hold that thought while you hesitate Until it's dark enough for you to see the stars Now you're out, you can stay away And call me up when you got something nice to say I'm kind of tired but I still can't wait Until you change how you operate And don't act until it's too late With no time to heal the scars You call me lonely I'm picking roses on my own You got me jumping and running and hiding At the sound of your cruel telephone Then you howl when I don't pick it up You're like a dog without a bone
