My babe ain't coming home, he's lost at sea
Called me on the phone: Come after me!
Trapped upon a border of life at sea
And desperately he's calling me
He says to me, he says: Baby come and rescue me!

The map is far long gone and I can see a pattern
Troubles weigh upon my head, and it's far from fun
My Babe ain't coming home, he's lost at sea
And desperately he's calling me
He says to me, he says: Baby come and rescue me!

I don't know how to call and I don't know how to answer
I'm stretching out my arm for him but it's not enough
I never get it wrong and I can sense a pattern
Still, constantly he's calling me
He says to me, he says: Baby come and rescue me!

Oh, is it true? You're out in the blue?
I can't stand waiting for you
And your sailor friends they say that you've made up your mind
And that you won't be coming home this night

Baby, please! Stop calling me!
'Cause baby you are confusing me
