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

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 know 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

She said tell me what it's all about
I said, why, why, why?
It's just something you can do without
You better try, try, try
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
